Presenting a beer label? Put it on this black beer mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Good pick for label designers, breweries or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: transparent or glass items show the background through. Test your label on the actual background colour you’ll use.
Beverage and beauty brands use renders like this on their shop pages long before the first production batch. A shelf of two or three variants in different colours makes a strong hero image.
This is a free file from a designer on Behance. When you click download you’ll land on their page to grab it.
Editable options in the Black Beer Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Label artwork, placed through the smart object
- Container colour
- Shadows
Add your design to the Black Beer Mockup
- Prepare the label with a little space around the edges for the highlights.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Change the background to your brand colour.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Leave a little breathing room around the label edge so the highlight strip does not cut through your logo.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Can I change the liquid or container colour?
Most bottle, can and cup mockups keep the container colour on its own layer. Liquid colour, where visible, is usually adjustable too.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so a designer on Behance gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
