Lone Wolf—a whisky, gin and vodka range—marks Brewdog’s entry into the craft spirits market. These are produced by Brewdog’s distillery in Scotland, the only one to make base spirit from grain under one roof, a roof specially modified to accommodate a 19m high 60-plate rectification column to get the purest results possible.
The range features a brand identity and packaging design created by London-based B&B Studio. This is described as being in defiance of category codes and conventions, and features a stripped back label design and wolf’s head motif as expressions of product purity and the brand’s outsider stance. The range will be available at Brewdog bars, and as part of Brewdog’s equity scheme. This post was updated November 2017 with images and thoughts on the design of Lone Wolf’s new tonic water and G&T range.

Mere–pronounced Mary–is a modern two-storey restaurant and bar, located in London’s Fitzrovia, developed by chef Monica Galetti and sommelier David Galetti, working in collaboration with Westbury Street Holdings.
The restaurant has a menu of simple dishes made from seasonal produce using classic techniques, and influenced by the French and South Pacific heritage of David and Monica, respectively. It also features a warm interior of rich material detail and pattern, created by Softroom.
Mere’s brand identity, developed by London-based design studio Bibliothèque, brings these interior details together and draws a sense of refinement, craft and character from the intersection of materials and the use of unusual typographic form across menus, receipt holders, business cards, cloakroom tags and signage.
