# Sophisticated Brew Bottles Queseria La Antigua of Fuentesauco's Craft Beer Bottle is Elegant By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-04-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-beer-bottle References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2015/04/la-antigua-craft-beer.html) & [queserialaantigua](http://www.queserialaantigua.com/) When a design takes more cues from [wine packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceci-1938) than the average craft beer bottle, the result is something that looks like the newest offering from Quesería La Antigua De Fuentesaúco. This unique artisanal beverage was developed to be [consumed with cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-flavored-cheese), making the brew a little more sophisticated than comparable products in the beer category. In order to set it apart from other craft beer designs, the craft beer gets an upscale packaging treatment with a [sculptural glass bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak) and a seal. The only hints on the bottle of its contents are the inclusion of the word "cerveza" on the label and a beer bottle cap to top off the playful craft beer bottle design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sophisticated Beer Packaging:** The use of upscale, sculptural glass bottles and seals in craft beer packaging resembles wine packaging, lending a more elegant and sophisticated feel to the product. - **Artisanal Beverages:** Craft breweries are creating unique and specialized beverages, such as beer specifically designed to be consumed with cheese, providing consumers with new and exciting flavor combinations. - **Upscale Craft Beer Designs:** Craft breweries are differentiating themselves by using high-quality materials and unique bottle designs, allowing them to stand out in a crowded market and appeal to more sophisticated consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Craft Beer:** Craft breweries can explore using innovative packaging and flavor combinations to create a more premium and sophisticated drinking experience, appealing to a wider range of consumers. - **Wine:** Wine producers can find inspiration from the sophisticated packaging and unique flavor combinations of craft beer, using it to enhance their own product offerings and appeal to a younger, more adventurous audience. - **Cheese:** Cheese producers can collaborate with craft breweries to create beer and cheese pairing experiences, tapping into the growing interest in artisanal food and providing consumers with unique taste experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expressive Beer Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buqui-bichi-brewery.md) - [Artfully Abstract Tequilas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-obsidiana.md) - [Sophisticated Tequila Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-mayor-tequila.md) - [Exceptional Tequila Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-and-packaging-redesign.md) - [Artistic Beer Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-legends.md) - [Retro-Inspired Beer Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellwoods-brewery.md) - [Artisanal Pour Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisanal-pour-bottles.md) - [Sculptural Tequila Bottle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/msica-tequila.md) - [Artisinal Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisinal-tequila-bottles.md)
