Doss Blockos Beer, which is part of East Ninth Brewing Company, has released their latest packaging design. This New York lager took a design point different from many other beer companies.
The Doss Blockos Beer 6 packs feature a very plain cardboard design with each bottle draped in a brown paper bag. The design comes from the underground roots of the beer and the art of concealing booze from the law. They are against the fancy schmucks and just want you to have a good time -- though I'm not encouraging public intoxication, those holding cells are terrible.
