For the fourth year in a row, talented Charlotte designers teamed up with genius local home-brew masters to create one show-stopping showcase. If you're reading this because you "couldn't make it" or "forgot about it", you're just going to have to read this exciting photo recap we bottled up for you (get it?). Before you move on, we suggest that crack open a cold one and enjoy this riveting recap of this year's unforgettable Beer and Branding Showcase.

If you weren't able to make, that's okay because AIGA Charlotte is always looking out for you. We’ve compiled all of this year’s design submissions for your viewing pleasure, perusal, minus the amazing home-brews. (Suggestion to our readers: you should probably drink a beer during your viewing to really get the full effect.) ENJOY!
