Grumpy Monk
This Grumpy Monk Belgian IPA from Samuel Adams is part of a mixed case containing 4 different beers that I bought at Costco about 4 weeks ago. All 4 beers were decent, but this one had the best label.
Strobist info: This is a composite of two separate images .... one with rim lighting and one with just the labels. It took about 15 minutes of post processing in PS CC to combine the two and clean up the black background. Down below in the comments is a picture I took that shows a similar setup. The only difference in the methods is that for this one I set the bottle on a mirror so that I could get a little rim lighting underneath the bottle. To get the rim lighting, I placed the bottle up against a piece of black foam core that was leaning up against a 24 inch softbox containing a YN560 in manual mode. The strobe was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I enjoy good beer, and appreciate a clever or interesting label. Other pictures that I've taken of beer can be seen in my Beer album.
