#yeastvan

We’re raising our glasses to our friends at Callister, and looking back at all the memorable beer and good times we had there over the past 10 years. This lovely brewery was a regular stop for us as part of the Yeast Van hop and gallery circuit, and we also got to brew a beer there with Diana. We’re sad this unique, collaborative brewery will be closing, but look forward to seeing what the future holds ... cheers to you Chris and Diana! 

For Andina Brewing Company’s can designs we were tasked with expanding their brand world to capture the lushness and vibrancy of the company’s Colombian roots – a unique feature in the BC craft beer market. We created a two-part illustration to showcase the bounty and diversity of Colombia’s natural landscape, including tropical foliage and the iconic El Peñón de Guatapé on the left – as well as the country’s cheerful street life, with a guitarist and fruit stand on the right. We illustrated these luscious scenes without linework or gradients, using colourful shapes to emphasize the rhythm of the composition. Careful control of hue and saturation allowed the woman’s figure to form a strong centrepiece alongside the large stacked text, the Castilian beer name. We use a simple band of colour around the neck to help identify the beer style at a glance.

100% James fresh hop IPA paired well with good friends this weekend 🍻 . . #yvr #craftbeer #beeroclock #beerbuddies #drinklocal #storm #freshhops #ipa #hopheads #instabeer #beertravel #yeastvan (at Storm Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHHsolah8jS/?igshid=1pzcu26aqml99
