Aaron Troyer and the Beer Labels of Seventh Son Brewing

Most beer labels feature representational art. It’s just the nature of the beast. Aaron Troyer makes abstract art for the labels of Seventh Son Brewing in Columbus, OH.

Alexandria Hall and the Beer Labels of Two Tides Brewing

Alexandria Hall, Two Tides Brewing 0

I am extremely lucky to be catching Alexandria early in her career. It’s easy to look at her work and see that she has an amazing future in whatever path she takes. I hope she stays in the beer packaging. The shelves of my bottle store would certainly be improved exponentially if she did. Clearly Two Tides Brewing of Savannah, GA saw her amazing potential as well.

Dean McKeever and the Beer Labels of Tree House Brewing

Tree House Brewing 0

Every once in a while, I like to poke around and see what other label art beer writers are looking at and enjoying. Recently, Adam Nason from beerpulse.com recommended that I check out Dean McKeever’s work for Tree House Brewing. He wasn’t wrong – it’s great stuff! Dean is very versatile. As an artist working […]

Jason Burke and the Beer Labels of Pipeworks Brewing

Jason Burke, Pipeworks Brewing

In which I interview Jason Burke, another long-time art contributor to the Pipeworks Brewing brand. To say that Pipeworks Brewing is a local gem for us here in Chicago would be a “kick to the stones” to the science of gemology and a wet willy to mineralogy.

The Tragedy of Blondes – Blonde Ale Labels

Bent Brewstillery, Cascade Lakes Brewing Company, Crosstown Brewing Company, Daughter's Brewing, Drifter Brewing Company, Front Street Brewery, Gig Harbor Brewing, Granite Falls Brewing, Grayton Beer, Great South Bay Brewery, Greenpoint Beer, Left Nut Brewing, Magic Hat Brewing, Mississippi Brewing Company, Mistress Brewing Company, Mother Earth Brew Co, Nightlife Brewing Company, Reel Deel Brewery, Salt Creek Brewery, Salty Nut Brewery, Saranac, Tennessee Brew Works, Three Forks Bakery and Brewing, Tin Cannon Brewing

A lot has been said about sexist beer labels in the last few years. Considering who our president is, expect things to get worse before they get better. What’s genuinely surprising is how creatively bankrupt these labels can be. Simply put, if you think you are being creative by putting a scantily-clad blonde woman on the […]

Hired Guns Creative and the Beer Labels of Driftwood Brewing

Driftwood Brewing, Hired Guns Creative

I first became aware of the work of Hired Guns Creative back in 2015 when I featured their pumpkin beer label from Longwood Brewing in our “Best Of…” post. Since then, we’ve played Twitter tag with Hired Guns on a few occasions, especially when a new label masterpiece hits the shelves. Leif Miltenberger was kind enough […]

Josh Cockrell and the Beer Labels of Jester King

Jester King Brewery, Josh Cockrell, Le Trou Du Diable, Local Option Bierwerker, Stillwater Artisanal

If you were to tell me that Josh Cockrell was a time-traveling illustrator of fine botanical tomes that had been transported here from a Medieval European alchemist’s laboratory in order to properly document the zymurgical heraldry of Austin’s Jester King Brewery, I’d probably go right back to my beer without batting an eye. Cockrell’s body […]

2016 was a roller coaster of a year. In some ways, the worst year I can recall. We lost so many amazing celebrities, but we also got a kick-ass Star Wars movie! We had to drink infected Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout but also got refunds and fresh, uninfected bottles in November. Here in Chicago, […]
