From Danish brewery To Øl:

Brombajer is our sour wheat pilsner, packed with juicy berries and clean acidity. Sharp, refreshing, and hard to put down

Pairing the prickly acidity of the Brombajer, Glossy Display is the matching font delivering just that edge. Ready for spring. The wide sans is yet unidentified.

Basque Fresh Hops is a limited edition Double IPA by Boga, a craft brewery based in Mungia, Biscay.

Lubaki Grafik Faktøry’s can design combines Harri (Blancoletters) for the beer name with Neutraface Display (House Industries) for supporting text. Harri’s bold, hand-drawn letterforms give the primary branding an expressive, craft-forward feel, while Neutra Display provides a clean, neutral contrast for secondary information and technical details.

Nostalgia relates to the melancholy feeling of missing someone or some moment, it is an internal wish to revisit good old memories that may never happened, to yearn for distant blurred past days.

Nostalgia was created in times of lockdown and social distancing, a conceptual beer packaging that creates an imaginary environment in which each person is able to relive their best memories in one sip.

From the retro and playful logo to i's colorful and cozy illustrations, the identity seeks to visually translate the memories and feelings that lives inside each of the five flavours: Noite (Night), Centelha (Spark), Turvo (Blur), Oceano (Ocean) and Brisa (Breeze).

The brand launched in 2023. A Baltic Coffee Porter was the first beer to enter the market, followed by a Dark Reef Robust Porter.

Roskilde Festival is a non-profit, non-governmental music and culture festival in Denmark, that has existed since 1971. The festival is known for its diverse music lineups, artistic performances, and commitment to social responsibility and environmental sustainability, and is the largest cultural event in Northern Europe.

Roskilde Festival is more than just a music experience, and are also considered a charitable event. It’s often referred to as a platform for action by bridging the gap between art, sustainability, and social responsibility.The festivals ambition is to inspire and move people through the power of community.

In 2013 e-Types started working on the identity and Playtype made a bespoke typeface, Roskilde 4000. It was extended in 2023 with a Condensed style which the main typeface used in the 2023 visuals shown in this post. 4000 is the zip code of Roskilde municipality.

This release of "New Look NEIPA" marks something special – a fresh visual identity for Browar Stu Mostów, a Wrocław-based craft brewery whose name means “One Hundred Bridges.” The name isn’t a coincidence. Wrocław is a Polish city literally tied together by over a hundred bridges. Just like its hometown, the brewery connects tradition with innovation, people with craft, and design with flavor. It’s a place where creativity flows as freely as the beer itself, and you can experience it all in their vibrant taproom.

“New Look NEIPA” embodies everything Browar Stu Mostów stands for – bold experimentation, expressive character, and pure enjoyment. Juicy, aromatic, and naturally cloudy, it bursts with notes of white and green fruits from the mix of American Mosaic and New Zealand Motueka hops. A generous Motueka whirlpool addition deepens its tropical intensity and smooth finish.

A new look with a new font: Extract Grotesk, a new chapter – and a beer that perfectly bridges design and taste. Cheers!

Kasu is a limited-edition sake-flavored beer created through a collaboration between Swiss sake brand Ivrée and Lausanne-based brewery and bar Brasserie du Château.

Its name refers to sake kasu (酒粕), the pressed sake lees remaining after fermentation, which were used to flavor the beer. Traditionally, sake kasu is reused in Japanese cuisine and brewing for its rich aroma and depth of flavor. This special release was available for just one month, until stocks ran out.

The packaging was designed by Dennis Moya Razafimandimby, using SwissPosters, a variable font by Newglyph, to give the project a bold typographic presence.

Droulers is the brand typeface of Doskiwis Brewing. From design studio Basora:

This is a story about love, love for the land, love for nature, love for beer and love for each other.

Dos Kiwis was born from a unique story: a craft brewery in the heart of Empordà, founded by a couple—one from New Zealand and the other Catalan. The name comes from the kiwi bird, a cute, flightless bird native to New Zealand. While the name had a strong personality, the brand lacked a cohesive narrative that tied everything together.

Their brewery is set in a breathtaking natural environment, surrounded by lush landscapes and wildlife. As we explored its surroundings, we discovered that “Els Aiguamolls de l’Empordà”, a major nesting site for migratory birds, is very close to the brewery. This insight became the foundation of the brand’s storytelling: birds as the soul of Dos Kiwis.

We reimagined the two kiwis as the hosts of a space where beer and birds coexist, creating a visual identity rooted in nature. This concept allowed us to craft a rich and flexible graphic system inspired by the life of birds—from eggs and nests to the graceful flight of those that inhabit the area.

To further differentiate Dos Kiwis, we moved away from the bold, colorful aesthetic typical in the craft beer industry. Instead, we embraced a more poetic, delicate visual identity, enhancing the romanticism of the brand’s story while making it stand out in a crowded market.

Shedshaker Brewing is more than just a brewery—it’s a creative force with a strong community spirit. The brand identity captures this with an industrial-inspired logo, referencing the sawtooth roofs of the Old Woollen Mill in which it is located. This distinct mark reflects the brewery’s raw, hands-on approach and deep roots in Castlemaine’s history. As a hub for live music and community, Shedshaker pulses with energy, echoed in the soundwave patterns on the cans.

Graphic design studio Self-titled held a one-night exhibition to celebrate ten years of Self-titled, titled Self—reflection. The typeface used is Store Norske Ja from Skriftkompani.

Showcased across large digital screens, the exhibition included a project from each of the last ten years that featured a learning, milestone or reference point that has helped shape the way Self-titled thinks about design.

The project features custom beers by Bad Shepherd Brewing Co., signage by Outcry Media, space by Hawker Spaces, and photography by Brent Lukey.

Swedish brewery Omnipollo always creates typographically rich and vibrantly illustrated product labels. For their newest beer they collaborated with Brooklyn Brewery to create the Blacker Chocolate Stout. Omnipollo have used F37 Glaser Stencil on the front label for their company name, alongside the Brooklyn Brewery’s logo in Copperplate Gothic. “Blacker Chocolate Stout” uses another typeface designed by Milton Glaser: it’s Glaser Kitchen.

PINTA is the leader of the craft beer market in Poland. Therefore, rebranding the regular line packaging was an extremely interesting challenge for us. When refreshing the labels for bottles and cans, we set ourselves two important goals – to make the brand stand out and find a common graphic language for labels that have been created over the decade. In the projects, we used GT Zirkon Medium and Black fonts, which proved to be excellent both in terms of strength and readability of messages.

Established in 1867, Moosehead Breweries is Canada’s oldest independent brewery, located in Saint John, New Brunswick. Since the recent rebrand, the wordmark is using Royal Theatre Serif from Playtype. Royal Theater is joined by Balboa by Parkinson Type Design as the second main brand typeface.

Conflict Advertising Inc. comments on the rebrand:

The Small Batch subbrand combines Acme Gothic by Mark Simonson Studio with Fairwater Script (with stylistic alternates) by Laura Worthington Design.

The Radler subbrand uses Spirits by Latinotype.

Pottsville, PA, March 20, 2018 – D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery®, is adding a new beer to its iconic core product portfolio, Yuengling Golden Pilsner, a modern pilsner crafted with the perfect balance of hop and malt character for crisp, smooth refreshment. Born from six generations of brewing expertise, Golden Pilsner is Yuengling’s first year-round beer to debut in 17 years.

We also love the design of the Yuengling Golden Pilsner packaging because it complements the design of our core brands’ packaging. The bright yellow gold and white colors reflects the color of Yuengling Golden Pilsner beer.

The design uses three fonts from the Burford typeface family; Burford Inline, Burford Drop line and Burford Base. The Burford family is a layering typeface with small wedge serifs.

From the Yeungling brewery website:

D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc., America’s Oldest Brewery®, is celebrating 190 years and six generations of family brewing. In 2019, Yuengling will commemorate its 190th anniversary by offering fans exciting packaging, promotions, special beers, and celebratory events throughout the year.

In celebration of its 190th anniversary, Yuengling will release a series of five limited-edition, collectible Yuengling® Traditional Lager beer cans. Between January and May, a new 12-ounce can design will hit stores each month and showcase the evolution of Yuengling’s iconic eagle imagery that has graced labels since 1829, when the brewery was originally called the “Eagle Brewery.

The collectible can series was illustrated by Steven Noble. The graphic designer is unknown. The celebration lettering is set in Burford, and the text on the lager can is set in Cheltenham and some form of Clarendon.

Silent Jazz Brew is a microbrewery that loves beer experiments inspired by jazz music. The basis of the brand identity was the combination of classics and avant-garde, traditions and improvisations, which are so characteristic of jazz.

Playtype's Berlingske Serif Stencil is used to write the names of the drinks and became the basis of the identity. It's visually similar to musical notes, providing great opportunities for various combinations and variations, illustrating jazz compositions and the beer itself from Silent Jazz Brew.

Drunkendog is a taproom in Mexico City inspired by old-school pubs, serving national and international craft beers.

The designers of Candid Brands comment:

For the typography selection, we considered the “classic English pub” aesthetic for this brand giving it a modern image making it more legible and trendy. We wanted to make a visible contrast with the typography selection, where you could find different and contrasting styles coexisting in harmony.

Alias Harbour is used for logotype and headline type — with slightly wonky positioning for the sign. Curved characters sit on the baseline rather than slightly underneath, so appear too high up.

Menus and business cards pair Harbour with Publico and Robinson.

The Drunken newspaper combines a logo in Ambidexter with text in Karelia.

The 2019 edition of Vienna Art Week saw a complete redesign of the annual art event, set entirely in Delphia. Proxi, a studio with offices in in Barcelona, Berlin and Austria, used the bold weight for the new logotype and mixed in some lighter weights and Italics for smaller text cases to create a solid corporate identity.

Throughout the years, multiple weights and styles have been used in a wide range of cases. The typeface was applied throughout the whole event which included facade banners, signs, balloons, bags, posters, booklets, the website and many more – most of them printed with Pantone Gold.

For the identity revamp of Ras l’Bock, a microbrewery from eastern Quebec, we knew we had to tap into what the brand is known for: good times. Its fun loving boldness called for strong colors, amusing characters and a funky font. The brand uses Brice and counterbalances it with Acumin​​​​​​​ in multiple width-weight combinations.

A fun brand deserves a fun positioning that reflects its reason to be! Cheers!

Design studio WWAVE writes:

We rebranded Funny Eye Brewery, Macau’s first craft brewery, and established a brand positioning with “Explore The Unknown” as the core.

A new visual identity with fun and mysterious illustrations is developed and are applied to the beer cans and a collection of product packaging.

The identity uses Relaate Serif and Relaate Grotesque. The Chinese font is yet unidentified.
