Pirata One
Beer Logo Inspiration In My Own Backyard Both the design and the beer for Week 44’s Beer-Type logo was directly inspired by a special, one-time, limited release by Hickory, NC’s hometown heroes Olde Hickory Brewery called Calico Jack. It’s an American Imperial Stout brewed with spice and natural flavors, then aged in rum barrels. Yes, […]

Sometimes Scary Good, Other Times Just Plain Scary Fall brings leaves of color, trick-or-treaters and all kinds of new craft beers to try! Of course many of those seasonal brews are pumpkin beers.

Carlingford

But upon initial review, all parties agreed it would make a better logo for a bacon label than it would for construction! I’m not big on […]

Tis the Season [for tasty beer] I was fortunate to have a guys’ weekend recently at Ocean Isle Beach, NC with some of my best friends from high school and college. We had a nice bottle share going the whole weekend, and there was an abundance great beer showings. But one style stood out to […]
