Labeling beer bottles

I was recently asked what I use to label my bottles.  Years ago, as a homebrewer, I wanted to label my bottles for fun.  At first I used large blank stickers.  It was easy and I could just design a label on my computer and then print it on the sticker.  I would use a photo and just put text over it, or use Microsoft word to design something.  Either way worked.  I used the Avery stickers that were 6 to a full sheet of paper.  However, getting the sticker back off the bottle was an issue.  It took a lot of work.  Then, the more I brewed the higher the cost of doing stickers.  So I looked for an alternative.
I came up with a pretty simple solution.  I would still design the labels on a 2 x 6 grid on a piece of paper.  Then I printed them with a high quality color laser printer and cut the paper into labels.  I glued the labels on with glue stick.  While slightly more labor intensive, it worked really well to put the labels on and take them off.  They washed off easily in warm water and I could clean and sterilize the bottles for reuse.  This method gave me nice labels at a very low cost, and I used it for quite a while.  The only issue I ran into with this is if I wanted to put the bottles in a bucket of ice for serving.  The paper and color would hold up but the glue would wash off as the bottles got wet.  My solution was to never serve the beer that way!
Obviously that was not going to be a long term solution, so I tried some other things.  In place of the glue stick, I used spray mount adhesive.  It is basically spay rubber cement.  It holds up in water and is fairly easy to clean off the bottles.
I would recommend any of those solutions to put labels on the bottle.  Stickers, paper and glue stick, or paper and spray mount.  All work well, just find the one that best fits your needs.
For the label design, Microsoft Word is a great simple solution.  You can make the whole page into a table and easily copy the design to each cell.  If you want something a little more sophisticated, you can use Typestyler.  It is a program for Macs (they might have a PC version) that lets you design logos or other graphic items.  For label design it works really well and provides more tools than Word. It is more time consuming, but if you want more flexibility, I would recommend this over Word. Of course there are many other ways to create the label, but those are my two preferences for homebrew.
Let me know if you want more details, and if you have a better solution I would love to hear it.
