Easy-Peasy Labels for Homebrewers at Labeley.com

A few weeks ago, Ana from www.labeley.com asked if I would try their label-making site for homebrewers and write a review.  Below is my first attempt, on my first visit to the site, which took me less than ten minutes.  Its not a stunning piece of art, but it looks fine and was exceptionally easy to make. 

Now, having used the program once, I'm certain I could make this same label in less than three minutes. 

You'll notice its not a Singing Boys Brewing label - I made this label for a collaborative brew we did in September.  I wrote about that here.  Its an amber ale and ready to drink now. 

Labeley.com is a very easy to use program, nothing to download onto your computer (except the finished label) and a great resource for those who don't use Photoshop or Gimp.  Even for those of us who do muddle through Photoshop, its an interesting alternative, because of how fast and simple it is to use. 

Labeley comes with lots of option, templates, and graphic elements that you can use for your labels. 

One thing that especially interests me about the program is the capacity to upload your own images.  That makes its very customizable - for example, a brewer could create their own logo in photoshop, save it as a jpeg, and then use it in a series of labels made on Labeley. 

There's a nice gallery of labels that have already been made, to give you some inspiration.  For the homebrewer who doesn't want to spend tons of time creating labels, www.labeley.com is a very helpful tool.
