New Belgium is an employee-owned craft brewery located in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a quality-focused, fun-driven and environmentally conscious philosophy. Based around the concept of inviting discovery through unification, San Francisco based Hatch worked to redesign New Belgium’s brand identity and the packaging of its complete craft beer range, which included the popular and renowned Fat Tire Amber Ale. Hatch refreshed and modernised the brewery’s identity, breaking through clutter and increasing its prominence, and united a diverse product line through an iconic illustrative consistency whilst retaining individual character.

PangPang is a Stockholm based microbrewery that was established by oddball Fredrik Tunedal in 2011. Fredrik, only 23 at the time, tattooed PangPang across his knuckles to celebrate the founding of what he believes to be Sweden’s first microbrewery. These knuckles now form the basis of the brewery’s logotype.
Swedish design studio Snask were commissioned to develop a strategy for PangPang’s 2014 summer series of hand brewed beers that would help them to compete within a growing craft beer sector and with the increasing number of microbreweries. This would be achieved by creating a playful visual identity and packaging solution that would stand out on shelves stacked with beer labels that often lacked individual character. The design and naming was built around the theme of tiki — a choice that felt suitable for summer beers and would create an ideal opportunity for interesting, distinctive and cheeky names. These included Cocojambo, Playa del Drevviken, Waikiki, Libertango and Tiki Tango.

Finísima is the latest ale to emerge from the independent Mexican beer brewing category and is described as being for both those unaccustomed with the world of artisanal beer and the connoisseur.
The ale’s packaging treatment, created by Mexican design studio Savvy, reflects its artisanal origin “without sacrificing the reach and reception of more commercial brands” by combining familiar craft aesthetics with those of an established premium nature.
