As the sales and marketing manager for Mystic Brewery in Chelsea, MA, Louie Berceli has his hands full. The company has recently rebranded under his creative direction. Late last year, he sent me the following email: Hey there, I’m so happy I finally have a reason to email you. I’ve been a fan of your […]
Today I’m going to show you how to remove bottle labels from any bottle quickly and intact. I’ve read dozens of posts on the subject and I’ve been astounded at the variety of methods out there that folks will recommend. I’ve put those methods to the test and boiled it down to a technique that […]
There’s not much of a story here – companies rebrand all the time. As of this writing, they haven’t even updated their website and their Facebook page has teased the new look, but nothing official is there.

UPDATE: Wiseacre’s Kellan Bartosch was kind enough to say a few words about working with Rachel. If you’ve already read this interview, you can jump straight to it here. It’s one of my favorite parts of WISEACRE – working with her -Kellan Bartosch I discovered Rachel Briggs’ WISEACRE labels entirely by accident on a trip […]
I love it when a beer label artist reaches out to me like Albert Ugarte did recently. When I wrote about a Three Floyds label last month, Albert was kind enough to let me know, “Hey, head’s up, I did the drawing for Battle Priest.” The purpose of this site is to connect the dots […]
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 […]
