Label Standards

We have an extensive database of beers and breweries all over the world. For this reason, we like to try to keep our labels neat and consistent and have established guidelines that anyone uploading a label should follow.

Requirements

We only accept official bottle labels or beer logos. We do not accept images of bottles, cans, or glasses (including photos or computer-generated graphics), zoomed in photos of labels, or labels that include a Surgeon General/Health Warning.

Un-cropped labels are preferred because people can see the full label without pinching and zooming and it gives the brand better brand attention across all of our platforms. However, if you are using an wrapped can label - please crop the label to only show the front. Any incorrect or unsupported labels are they will be reported and removed.

Files must be greater than 200x200 px in size and in JPEG and PNG format. If you have trouble uploading large PNG files, try converting the file to a JPEG and uploading the JPEG.

Examples
