Hennepin – Ommegang Brewery
Belgium beers are kind of uncharted waters for me, so the fact that this label has plenty of details for best enjoyment is nice. The serving temperature lets me know to take this beer out of the fridge a bit before I drink it and the “bottle conditioned” reminds me to get myself a glass so I’m not swilling large quantities of yeast. The colors of this label are really nice and the design is unique. It’s part historical looking, part comic strip. The fonts are all over the place but work well together. I like how the Belgium dude has a speech bubble with an exclamation mark. What that exclamation means I guess depends on what you taste in the bottle. It could mean “Bold Intense Beer!” or “This Beer Sucks!” (I doubt it sucks, it’s from Ommegang).
