Yeah, I have a good bunch of 'em here;

My personal favorite is the one for our IPA

I've been working on creating a common template for the label look. It allows our beers to be recognizable from a distance.

Matter of fact, there are a few bars around Buffalo where our bottles can be found displayed...as well as the LHBS.

I remember using a watery wallpaper paste solution brushed onto bottles with my dad a long long time ago for his wine bottles. Hope this helps!

I use regular paper. The only problem is that you want to use a decent printer otherwise the color will bleed when the milk hits the back.

I couldn't agree with gbob more!! I always tell people about using milk. The first response is, "really?!"... then they see it and they say "REALLY!" (yeah... I've got friends with huge vocabularies). But he's right... you have to use a good printer or you'll end up with some funny looking labels, but I think it is the cheapest and easiest way to go.
