The challenge was to create a package that not only looked unique, but also felt different. It had to look traditional and authentic to evoke the feeling, that this beer has been saved for a long time to push the ‘reserved’ aspect.

What’s Unique?
I decided to go with a smart-new 100% recyclable, 35% Post-Consumer, unprocessed brown craft paper made in the USA. The design allowed as much of this beautiful paper to shine through and adorned with a triple stamp of colored, silver metallic cold foil.
