Dude! What fun it was to design this label for Gigantic Brewing Company’s 11th limited edition brew: Dark Meddle Beer. Gigantic is a great independent artisinal brewery located in Portland, OR. From the label’s description: Our crafty homage to the Vienna-style lager brewed by our favorite Mexican grupo (Negra Modelo). A malty, full-flavored dark brew, made extra-smooth with piloncillo cane sugar. Unleach your inner luchador!
I was given the task of exploring the different meanings of the words meddle, medal and metal, so if you look closely on the artwork you will see the weasel “meddling” with the Gigantic logo, a dark “medal” around his neck as he stands on an anvil, all set on a “dark” backdrop featuring a skyline of some of the notable buildings of Mexico City (referencing Negra Modelo). A fun project to say the least, and extremely delicious I might add.
Availability of Dark Meddle Beer:
I’m told these are available throughout the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington and Alaska). But there have been spottings at speciality beer establishments all the way down to San Diego. In any case, if you’re interested, please go check out their site and inquire where you can find this brew and other Gigantic brews near you.
Cheers!
