This is easily one of my favorite beer label designs I’ve seen in the last year. The hand-drawn illustration, color palette, and simple, hand color separations are just really artful and well-made.
As is this beer. Much has been made of the time spent by Deschutes’ brewers trying variation after variation (as many as 22 recipes) in an attempt to find the perfect balance between bright hop and dark malt, and I think they’ve been pretty successful, even if CDA’s aren’t my cup of tea.
