Synopsis

This fabulous book graphically maps the evolution of American and European microbrewery labels, logos, and pub signs concentrating on their homegrown style of self promotion and artwork.

Spencer Drate is a creative director and designer who has been honored with many awards. He was commissioned by the Chelsea Brewing Company to create the packaging for Sunset Red Ale and Blond Ale.

Thomas Olejar studied brewing at UCLA and has created a beer information software application for training and promotional use.
