One thing that you HAVE to know about us is the fact that we LOVE design - all design but when it comes to beer - graphic design. Yes, you can drink good and in fact great beer in just a normal looking bottle or growler - but when a company goes through the trouble to hire a team of designers that take their logo and run with it - well, we just can't think of anything finer.
For some reason, craft beer coming out of a fine looking bottle just tastes better.
We aren't the only ones to notice either. Prime Social Marketing wrote Logo Design tips with 8 of the best-looking craft beer brands while Harvey Shepard started a website entitled Oh Beautiful Beer to showcase stellar craft beer graphics.
Along the way, Derek and I have found the breweries whose graphics we truly appreciate. Of course, the beer has to come first - it doesn't work as well to have a great looking label but bad beer now does it.
Here are some of our favourites:

I just have to say off the bat that as of yet (Dec. 2013) we have not been to the Twisted X nor have we sampled their beer. We aim to change that early next year. On the other hand, we just cannot deny that they have a really cool label. Can't wait to get the t-shirt!
Update: We have yet to visit Twisted X - it wasn't on our route this year - hopefully next winter. By the way we found out the genius designer behind the artwork - Joshua Rowan.

The Wychwood Brewery graphics are great. Their website is a real show stopper!

ReplyDeleteIts been a while since i have jumped into the field of Graphics Designing. I would say i was right to make this decision. I keep browsing through new Graphics Resources online. This is a nice master piece you have got about Graphics Designing. Actually i collect graphics resources and share other people's useful resources too on my blog which you can read here.
