'14 B-Bomb drops

Excited for all of this bizness, especially these Infusions. Oct-Dec continues to be my favorite time of year for beer around here.

Graphic Design/Logos/Branding matters a ton and Fremont has always had some of the classier typography and logos in Seattle and they're only getting better. Their can designs are seriously some of the best in all of craft beer, IMHO. Way too many beer cans look like energy drink companies these days.

 

I don't like the new KDS artwork, honestly. I miss the old Dragon crest design. It's going to be on the Dark Star cans, but I thought it worked well on the KDS bottle label.

Also, I learned that the guy who does the artwork for Fremont recently moved away from WA but is basically employed by the brewery to do artwork for them and only them.

 

So the artist will continue working for them even though he's moved away? Glad Fremont recognizes his talent.

 

Must be a hobbyist. I can't imagine Fremont needs so much artwork in a year that they can keep a single professional artist gainfully and exclusively employed.

 

Our artist, Dan, is a full-time employee. And, thanks, he is awesome. Dan also runs the art related website graphic arts, swag, event stuff, glassware, etc etc. dan and I have been friends for years and I can't imagine working with anyone else. We know each other and he translates my crazy ideas into art....what more can you ask for?

Thanks for noticing we've stepped up our graphic arts work...still much more to come.

And, yes, we are doing a Bbomb coffee/cinnamon variant this year. Due to the heavy waxing requirement, we simply can't release the variant at the same time as regular Bbomb. Side note: thanks to our awesome community volunteers for the waxing this weekend!

 

Outstanding. That sounds like a great job.

 

What Terry meant to say is ..."this is extremely limited and will fly off the shelves in mere seconds".

 

Dear Dan, Please take 30 seconds out of your day and design Tex a super sweet/custom Fremont avatar......

 

Avatar? Must be a haiku

 

I think that question mark is perfect.

 

It is clearly a sly reference to the blue heron in the Fremont logo.

 

Sometimes I wish the PNW forum got more traffic. That post deserves at least 100 likes. Well done.
And... a great idea for the label on a Fremont mystery beer, if @Texwild is paying attention...

 

You take that back.
