Coastal Craft Brew Designs

These Lighthouse Brewing IPA Bottle Designs Exude Coastal Elegance

— April 13, 2015 — Lifestyle
These IPA bottle designs from the Lighthouse Brewing Company's Explorer Series are a playful reference to the microbrewery's proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Created in collaboration between Saint Bernadine Mission Communications and Blended Agency, the Explorer Series packaging is characterized by the off-white labels and topographical detailing that gives the range a nautical, seaside look.

By creating IPA bottle designs that exude character throw intricate details such as slightly yellowed labels reminiscent of a treasure map, the brand is also championing its dedication to small-batch quality, which is also defined by layers of complexity that can easily go unnoticed.

The packaging for the Lighthouse Brewing Explorer Series is successful based on the strength of the brand's imagery and the intricate details that suggest the product is something best savored over time.
