Craft Beer Logo & Label Design: GFB Leaves of Grass
WEEK 6: Leaves of Grass series of wild ales from Granite Falls Brewing. This is probably one of my all-time favorite meldings of beer + type. Why’s that you say? Because the main font in all of these beer label designs is directly correlated to the name of the series, and in this case the […]

Not Your Typical Christmas Goose! Week 51’s Beer-Type logo design was created for the Christmas season and inspired by my friend Luke and my very own homebrewed Gose-style beer. We love gose beer (pronounced “goes-uh”)—in particular Westbrook Brewing’s Gose. So we wanted to try to brew something close. We call it “gose-style” because we didn’t […]
Wild Ride
Get set for a Wild Ride! Week 49’s Beer-Type logo was once again inspired by a type of beer rather than the typeface itself. I knew I wanted to create Christmas style beer logo, but not one that was over-the-top with holly berries or Santa hats. I also knew I wanted to create a stout […]

Off-farm Beers Are Good Too! Week 48. Just when I was going through my head and milling over the types of beer for which I could make a logo… a beer style I had never tried before! Enter Bloody Butcher Appalachian Grisette from Morganton, NC’s Fonta Flora Brewery, one of the more rare beer styles […]
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. They seemed to arrive super-early this year, much like how Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year. Pumpkin beers get mixed reviews, […]

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 […]
Againts
An In-Your-Face Smash Session! Week 29’s Beer-Type logo is full of angst and rebellion—utilizing a modern script font with the look of passionate brushstrokes. The name Againts looks a heck of a lot like “against” which prompted my initial designs. This typeface conjures up the look of wanting to smash something! But wait a minute, […]
Spoleto
Spoleto is a font that you have probably seen many times before. It’s one of my favorite script fonts, and I’m currently using it on the Hoppalachia and Knotty Gurl craft beer labels for Granite Falls Brewery. It’s a great font for a beer logo, but I’m not fond of it’s numbers. They don’t seem […]
