What’s In a Beer Label?

A beer label is more than just a name on a bottle – it’s also a work of art. An eye-catching design plays a crucial part in selling. If the label does not look enticing enough, it might not get the attention it deserves.

That said, good design should always go with the right information. Beer labels need to follow the guidelines outlined by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). Every beer label should include a mandatory health warning before it can be approved for sale or distribution in the United States.

So, what should be on a beer label? Here are a few things to consider when creating your design:

1. Brand Name – Apart from the design, this is one of the first things that people notice in a beer label. The name should be prominent on the label but not take up the entire space.

2. Origin – Most beer enthusiasts are discerning about the country or place of origin of their brews. Adding this information helps beer drinkers choose from a wide variety of beer styles from all over the world.

3. Alcohol Content – Not all states require this information. However, it’s helpful for people who are conscious about how much alcohol goes into their beverages.

4. Class Designation – Is your product an ale, stout, or a lager? This information shows customers if your malt beverage is brewed with natural flavors or fermented with spices.

5. Bottler’s Information – The name and address of the bottler or importer must be visible on the label. Businesses can also use a trading name instead.

6. Health Warnings – Any beverage that contains more than 0.5% of alcohol needs to add the mandatory health warning.
