Every once in a while, I like to give some flowers to label designs that show extra effort, are fun and just flat out rise above the cut.
Burgeon Beer Co. takes a diner ticket approach to Order Up.
There are loads of little details. The color is spot on and there is even a binder clip as well. All with enough space and room for the hop bill and the charitable causes logos too. Works on all levels.
I do long for the school days at times, more for the breaks from school that I no longer have access to but Burgeon Beer Company has a Winter Break for us all…
…”This Hazy IPA stuffed with Citra Cryo, Mosaic Cryo, El Dorado, & Nectaron will have you reminiscing about your favorite trips down the slopes.”
I am very opinionated when it comes to labels. I have hot takes for days and I do prefer to give a tip of the hat rather than a wag of the finger so let’s look at this label from Burgeon…
Instead of hoping to slide IP infringement by, they have used a clever name, a gradation of color and nods to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru’s homestead. Plus the color has a bit of haze to it to match the beer style.
First up is a great combo name from Burgeon Beer...
…covers both fishing and sports in a lovely gradiated blue color.
Second up is the 4th PRSC beer, Summoning. The color palette is striking. This is their final release until they open up their tap room next year.
“Our Summoning wrapped aluminum can features the colors of the pan-African flag accompanied by silhouettes of marginalized people coming together to be seen, heard and respected.”
