Thirst for knowledge. Drink to forget.
I first discovered the art of Kyle Shold late last year when Heathen Brewing’s Reindeer Tears was released. Kyle’s got a new label hitting the shelves for Heathen, Mega Dank IIPA, and he contacted me to let me know about it. Beer Labels Art: Tell me a bit about your latest label for Heathen Brewing: Mega […]

According to a press release, special edition 12-packs featuring these Blue Moon beer labels will be available. “All 20 original works of art will be celebrated in a one-time moonlit gallery event […]
The first three in a series of American city-themed labels for Coors Light have been registered with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. They feature New York, Miami, and Atlanta. Unlike the recent Miller High Life Artists Series, none of these gives credit to the artist. All of these are presumably for cans. Miami […]
Is Hydra Beer Company a new imprint of Sprecher? I’m not sure, but they registered these labels this week, and they are kick ass! There’s a website address on these labels to a site that doesn’t exist. Is Sprecher attempting to add a little Metal to their offerings without affecting the soda labels? I guess […]
Great Lakes Brewing has been releasing press on the progress of their new rebranding. In the past week, a handful of their new labels have been registered with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. What’s really exciting about the new illustrations by Darren Booth is they feature collage! You can see the process at […]
Four new labels from Miller entitled “American Artist Series” were registered this month with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. They are noted to be a series of 5, so I’ll definitely post when the fifth one gets approved. I love a good throwback campaign. I’m excited to see a brewery, especially one […]
Regular readers are well aware that I am a Chicagoan and that many of the articles here are of Chicago breweries. I make no apologies for posting this, my second article about the labels of Arcade Brewery. These guys only have four beers on the shelves at the time of this writing, but they are doing […]
Sometimes when doing research about a beer label it’s really tough to find out the name of an artist. Sometimes it’s as easy as reading the fine print on the label. But when it’s difficult, I’m always surprised. You expect there to be a relationship between a brewery and the person who creates the label image. […]
I have to admit, it took me a long time to warm up to Clown Shoes Beer. You would think that a brewery that puts as much into illustration as Clown Shoes would really appeal to me. And Clown Shoes has recruited some top-notch artists for their beer labels. Two things about their labels changed that really […]
I don’t usually blog about label designs, but I’m very excited by the look of these new Pilsner Urquell cans. This summer Pilsner Urquell will be turning the “retro can” trend on its ear by releasing historically-inspired, limited edition cans. According to their press, “These are not vintage cans, they are newly crafted designs that draw […]
If you reached this page, you're looking for Pico Paks. Since PicoBrew shut down, Paks are no longer being made. The community has banded together to create solutions for continuing to use our PicoBrew devices and one of them is a reusable bin for ingredients called Pico-Free. Right now, Jonathan Gregory is taking pre-orders for a short-run production order. IF YOU NEED A PICO-FREE BIN, PRE-ORDER NOW.
