7/27/2023 0 Comments Reddit elysian night owl![]() Reminiscent of the finest fantasy art out there, this wolf is all bite!Ĭheers to Elysian for two pumpkin beer labels on this list! You have to admit, putting a werewolf on your pumpkin beer label is pretty bad ass. I’m not sure who the illustrator of the bunch is, but they all have a clean, consistent look.Ĭambridge Brewing #2 – Elysian Dark O’ The Moon Pumpkin Stout It’s whimsical and well done.Ĭambridge Brewing’s pumpkin beer label was designed by freelancers Will Thomas, Bryant Ross, and Peter Strut. This is just an example of good illustration. Weyerbacher #3 – Cambridge Brewing Great Pumpkin Ale I couldn’t find anything about the artist for this label, except that his name is Sean Clark. I love the fact that he’s got a candle lit inside his hollow head. His realm is the pumpkin patch (although and indoor one?) and he even seems to be sitting on a throne. The emperor of all pumpkin beer labels? This grumpy jack o’lantern wears a crown and cape and carries a scepter. Polanshek of the Hills on Etsy #4 – Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale This painting captures the grey, dreary spirit of the season in a very clever manner – the pumpkin stem becoming a leafless tree on an orange landscape. This is the first time I’ve ever seen an artist credited on a label for their artwork and I hope it’s not the last! Her gorgeous art is featured on their Imperial Pumpkin. Vermont artist Jess Polanshek won the Long Trail Brewery Label Design Contest back in August of 2013. This pumpkin label art was created by John Paul Lumpp at Windgate Design.Īvery Brewing #5 – Long Trail Imperial Pumpkin Usually the subject is framed within that arch but in this case the cleverly used the shape to incorporate the barrel. The image appears to be carved into the wood of a barrel.Īll of Avery’s beer labels have the same basic shape – a rectangle with an arch across the top. Avery’s pumpkin ale is aged in rum barrels, so this label features a corked rum jug resting in a pumpkin patch. I thought this take on the pumpkin beer label was very unique. Assuming you don’t get your eye pecked out.Ĭorinne McNielly has worked for Elysian Brewing creating their beer label art for the past six years.Įlysian Brewing #6 – Avery Brewing Rumpkin It really sets the mood for this type of beer. I love the night sky and gnarly tree branches behind him. He’s on the hunt for mice or possibly something larger. The owl on this pumpkin beer label doesn’t give a damn if you drink it or not. This scary dog is exactly what you might be afraid of on Halloween night.įlying Dog Ales #7 Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale Ralph Steadman does all of the labels for Flying Dog Brewing (since 1995) and he’s in top form for this label. And the beer is good too! I gave this beer 3 1/2 stars on Untappd.ĭahl Taylor Art #8 Flying Dog The Fear Imperial Pumpkin Ale I love the sketchy, mixed media look and I will definitely be writing an article devoted to the rest of the labels in this series. “This work represents a shift from traditional media to a digital medium of merged, hand drawn art and a Photoshop painted style.” ![]() According to Taylor’s website, this style is a new direction for the artist. The illustrations for this series of 22 oz small batch bottles were created by Dahl Taylor. Maybe he ate some more attractive pumpkins. He’s positioned on top of a pile of clothes as if on display on someone’s front porch. Instead of a grinning, perfectly-shaped carved pumpkin, we have an ugly, shriveled, and warty “bottom of the pile”-looking guy with an contented smile on his face. Terrapin Beer Company #9 Sam Adams Fat Jack Double PumpkinĪnother unique approach to the standard gourd-emblazoned label is this double pumpkin from Sam Adams. Biffle is best known for his work with bands like The Grateful Dead. ![]() Terrapin’s founder and brewmaster Bruce “Spike” Buckowski met artist Richard Biffle at Bonnaroo one year and asked him to create their label illustrations. Okay, maybe not so spooky, but I thought this derpy turtle farmer stood out from the standard jack o’lantern beer label art I see all over the place.
