Occasionally there are beer labels on the bottles of home brewed beer I make, but those labels are from the breweries who beer I drank to get those bottles.  Since starting to brew at home I have wanted to make my own labels but never really had the desire to take the time to start from scratch.  It seems that I don’t have to do that to start making my own labels though.  Labeley.com gives me the base to start from and also allows me to customize a label to my own liking.  I look forward to using it soon to create a label for my recent batch of pumpkin beer and I can’t wait to see how the tool evolves as more and more people use it.  Did I mention that it is free?!

On with the news we go . . .

Always saying that I like the concept of more regional breweries I realize that would mean fewer beers from across the country available to me here.  I suppose that means I will just have to make more of an effort to travel around the United States to sample fresh beers at their source.

Getting on with it . . .

Not until I sat down to write this post did I realize how many of these stories involved places I have interest in traveling to or, in one case, a place that I will be in the near future.  As often happens, I must thank The Wife and The Mother-in-law for passing along some interesting items this week.

A fair amount from overseas . . . .
