"After" is the informal way to call a bar when you go after work (here in Argentina from 7pm to 11pm). It comes from the English "after office". "La batalla de los After" is a website that gathers the best bars in the city and uses the concept of battle as an excuse to generate visits in a playful way.

An absolutely fantastic beer (98 on BA, 100 by the Bros) gets one of the best can designs I’ve seen.

Brothers is frequently used for the faux vintage style we have deemed “Hip Traditional”. The typeface’s designer witnessed an example of this first-hand yesterday:

“Found this beverage today while I was at the supermarket. Bought a 12-pack for good luck.” — John Downer

Smith & Forge was developed in 2014 by MillerCoors (though the company attempts to bury that fact as it wants the beverage to be seen as a microbrew). The pseudo-historical nature of the Smith & Forge brand is clearly tongue-in-cheek, even to the point of being a self-aware example of extreme Hip Traditionalism. The design is by Chicago-area firm Soulsight, who describes the look thusly:

“Smith & Forge™ is a brand whose essence is rooted in strength. It is masculine and hyperbolic in tone. From its look and feel to the way it communicates, it is a brand forged with strength from inception. Named to evoke the idea of blacksmiths forging steel and designed with masculinity in mind, Smith & Forge™ is made strong in the fine tradition of making things strong.”

Colorado Native is a beer from AC Golden Brewing Company, a subsidiary of MillerCoors. It is made and distributed only in Colorado. The goal for the branding was to emulate posters of the 1930s and ’40s that advertised the National Parks of the state. Los Feliz comes from a very different background (the handpainted signs of Mexican immigrants in Los Angeles) but I can see how it can vernacular style of WPA artists as well. The circular ‘C’ mark comes from the Colorado state flag.

John Downer, designer of Brothers, discovered his typeface on this adult beverage and was less than satisfied with the application:

The M got uncomfortably pinched between the letters to its left and right.
Too little space remains also between the first two letters in RITA. Why
the Can Designer couldn't live with my default fitting is a mystery to me.
(Tracking would have been considerably better than senseless kerning.)
