Would like feedback & critique on design

Hi everybody, I am totally new on the site and in the field as well. One of my friend asked me to design him some stuff for his beer brewing co, and this is the result. I am quite amateur, but some feedback would be nice, what and how could I improve and take care more. (sorry for the hungarian text)

The Labels http://tinypic.com/r/2jc60k2/8

Flyer http://tinypic.com/r/f4qtkl/8

Menu (small) http://tinypic.com/r/24fy3k0/8

There is more content, I just don't want to bore you with all the stuff. Thanks!

The label is really solid.

However, the menu could use some more work, in particular the ribbon is broken and the type needs some love.

Hey Gabor,

I really like the design.

You did a very good job with the texture.

I am particularly fond of the color scheme and balance of the designs.

The only critique I could provide is to play around with more fonts that you could use. The font is the only thing that is limiting your designs, in my opinion.

Very nice work!

I agree with Calvin Nix, I think you could get more creative on the menu font (unless that's what your friend asked for).

Dear Calvin, Thank you very much for your answer and support. I appreciate it, and will work more on fonts!

Thank you Rodrigo as well, I will work on fonts then (the prices in the white fields are for templates only, since he wants to write them in, because they are not so consistant) .

Dear James, the ribbon is broken on purpose, I wanted them to seem like they are folded back, maybe some shadow effect can fix it. About type, there is no question anymore :) Thank you!

What I meant by broken, is that it doesn't have a shadow like on the label, that looks like a traditional ribbon the one on the menu looks like it's trying to look like ribbon but not quite succeeding.
