A new book by Daniel Bellon and Stephen Speeg collects the best of design from brewies around the world. The creative tide of craft brewing extends to the design and packaging of these precious goods and exemplify a the individual style of each brewery.
The chosen exemplars of this fount of design feature everything from clean minimalism to delicious vintage-y flare. I'd like to take this opportunity to share a few of my own favorite label designs!
Not only is England's Wild Beer among my favorite craft brewing companies, their sleek, consistent design series features a fantastic glowering stag who distinguishes their bottles and severely pressures you into trying their beer.
To complement this labelling, nearly all of Wild's brews are bottled in their signature dark brown, slender bottles. Try one of their sour beers if you have the chance!
San Diego's own Modern Times Beer also produces a signature series of designs in sunny colors for both their regular and specialty brews. Graphic design people may not agree with me here but I like loopy font beside clean, clear block design elements and ample open white space.
This color and design scheme perfectly conveys a breezy, classy vibe to suit Modern Times Beer.
Lastly, Norcal's Speakeasy Ales and Lagers communicates a sumptuous seediness in their Probibition-era designs that successfully combine minimalist and maximalist design element in a Gatsby-meets-Vertigo-comic-books sort of way.
Their signature shifty eyes appear on most of their designs alongside Art Deco inspired geometric and gradient motifs and create a deliciously neo-noir vibe for all of their products.
