Not because I’m a big beer lover — I’m allergic to hops and have trouble drinking most of it.
No, I love @ohbeautifulbeer because they focus on a beer’s stage presence — the graphic design of its labels, packaging and artwork. And many of the lesser known brews excel in this department.
Just look at the label for 400 Pound Monkey IPA from Left Hand Brewing. I would order it for its looks alone, it’s so frickin’ cool.
(I’d be sick as a dog later, but it would be worth it.)
And check out this poster for the Pan American Coaster Tossing Championships that took place earlier this month in Raleigh, North Carolina.
I love so many things about this. The retro-Olympic styling. The subdued color palette. The great tagline “Drink Beer, Throw Stuff.” And the fact that the event exists at all.
I mean, tossing coasters? How hilarious is that? I suppose it is safer than darts, but someone must have been pretty drunk when they came up with that idea.
Wonder what they were drinking? Perhaps…this beer?
It’s called Moo Brew. That’s a cow on the label…a really cool, stylized cow. And the bottle is such an interesting, elongated shape.
Funny — I never knew beer could be so inspiring (and I’m not even drinking it).
Intoxicating
