DRINK.

(via Printeresting, designed by Tate Foley)

The above design is simply, hilarious. And how perfect I come across it the same day I go to Travis Bone’s (whom saved the day by letting me expose a screen because everything else I tried failed) who showed me something amazing, beautiful, fascinating, and tasty. I got an unofficial ok to blog about this, and that’s good enough for me! Uinta Brewery Co. is coming out with a limited edition line of beer called “Crooked,” and the packaging is another reason you want get your hands on these babies. Each one has artwork by local artists: Travis Bone (Bourbon Barrel Barley Wine Ale), Trent Call (Black Ale) and Leia Bell (Double India Pale Ale). Say whaaaaaaat? My thoughts exactly. All I had was my camera phone, so sorry for the quality. You have to see them in person anyways. Not sure when these will be in stores, but as soon as I hear, I’ll be sure to let you all know!

One of my dreams is to design packaging for a beer. Yeah, a beer. If I just did one, I’d be a happy lady.

And for those who don’t know how I met Travis Bone, read on here. It’s one of my favorite stories and a prime example of how persistent/annoying I am.

    Cool! I’d love to design packaging for beer/wine too. Have you ever seen unattractive packaging for alcohol? I haven’t…yet.

    At least you got to design a drink packaging/identity system, period. I was so jealous your Brand Identity class got to do it. I’ve seen some bad wine labeling (for some reason, mostly white), but maybe you haven’t because I’m around it a little more ;)

    But yes, most beer is beautiful.

    [...] (she designed two out of the 4 in the Crooked Line brewed by Uinta Brewery Co.). Funny how when I first blogged about these, she didn’t know who I was! And not too long ago she poured me a cup! And it was delicious! I [...]
