Beer & Branding 2017: Showcase

This year was AIGA Charlotte’s 4th Annual Beer & Branding Showcase and once again both brewers and designers killed it! Every year we see more designers and brewers come together to collaborate to create stunning portfolio pieces and a multitude of savory home-brewed beers. And each year it just keeps getting better and better! 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!
