Illustration for Awildan Pub Ale

March 20, 2023 in Awildan Distilling, Illustration

For the collaborative Spring beer release from Awildan Distilling and Karben4 Brewing, I did a Celtic/Irish variation of the Awildan Distilling animal crest. It’s opportunities like this that allow me to research and draw different images than what I usually would do. It’s been so enjoyable to look at historical Celtic art and see how I can translate it.

For the Awildan Pub Ale, I drew the circular knotted crest, as well as the corner knot ornaments and little beast heads. Label design by Aislinn Bartholomay. This was a limited release to pair with Awildan’s Poitin, an Irish-style Single Pot Still Whiskey.
