This limited-edition Velkopopovicky Kozel beer packaging celebrates the rich history and tradition of brewing this Czech beer. This creative beer packaging is designed by Yurko Gutsulyak and makes the cans of beer look like they are made of solid wood blocks instead of metal.
The cans have drawings on them that look like they have been carved out of wood, including details from the brand's story throughout history, like mills, wheat, beer glasses and pretzels. This beautiful design communicates the craftsmanship and care that goes into the making of the Velkopopovicky Kozel beer with its fans.
Gutsulyak's gorgeous collectors' edition beer cans were awarded bronze at the 2013 Dieline Package Design Awards in the 'Beer, Malt Beverages, and Tobacco' category.
