Craft Beer Design - The Design, Illustration and Branding of Contemporary Breweries - Beau Livre

Craft breweries spring up like mushrooms around the globe. Creating unique brands to stand out, they draw from the full riches of graphic language and are leading the way in modern packaging design. From the minimalist to the expressionist, using lines, colors, patterns, and illustrations, few rules dictate this exciting, exuberant visual culture. In Craft Beer Design, Danish designer Peter Monrad finally brings a global perspective to the truly global phenomenon that is craft beer branding.
As microbreweries use cans and bottle labels to define their ethos and identity, they push the boundaries of graphic design and illustration. This curated selection reveals the best and most out-there concepts, and proves that when it comes to craft beer, what's on the can matters as much as what's in it.
