Wild Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter packaging
17 November 2008
Cool client. Cool brand. Cool project. Louisiana-based Object 9 created packaging as unique as the brew while maintaining the integrity and coolness of Ralph Steadman’s art.
Flying Dog Brewery’s special edition beer is aged in seasoned whiskey barrels from Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. All bottles are hand-filled, labeled and corked; only 5,000 750ml champagne-style bottles were initially produced. Anyone who thinks that this was a “dream design project” would be absolutely right.
