Beer Label Design Series: Pisgah Hazy IPA’s

WEEK 8: Beer label design series for Pisgah Brewing Hazy IPA’s. Now wait a minute. That’s not a font, that’s custom type! You are correct, the numbers and lettering for this hazy series was hand-crafted specifically to match the Pisgah logo. (Well, their logo may have been designed using a font at some point, but […]

An Ossem Logo for an Awesome Beer! Well, it’s been a while since I created a new Beer-Type Logo. Too long! But in preparation for the opening reception of my beer logo exhibit at Hickory Museum of Art, I collaborated with Granite Falls Brewing Company to guest-brew a special release just for the event. This […]

Rye

Give a Rye a Try I was struggling to find the perfect font for an Oktoberfest Beer-Type concept. I went through what seemed my entire font catalog and still no luck. So what’s a logo type designer to do? Head over to Google Webfonts, that’s what… And what did my weary eyes find? A font […]

Intro Inline

Double your pleasure. Double your fun! I found this font on Pinterest when looking for some inspiration to use for an upcoming taphandle graphic. Looks like something that would be on a can, and somewhat reminiscent of NODA’s Hop Drop ‘N Roll label. I may not ever use Intro Inline for a craft beer label […]

Brothers
