The Brewing Botanist is a red Belgian strong ale brewed with bergamot peel by Stuff Brauerei. After the fermentation process our beer matures for 6 months in Luxembourgish oak barrels that had previously aged Opyos Luxembourg Dry Gin. After the maturing process, the beer undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and lands at an ABV of 11% vol.
The label design for "The Brewing Botanist" is a blend of elegance and vintage charm, specially crafted to match the classic champagne bottle, making it a truly exceptional and limited edition beer. The overall design exudes a sense of prestige, with ornamental and floral illustrations along with a simplified beer keg, reflecting the beer's refined craftsmanship. Vintage fonts for the name add a touch of timeless sophistication, while handwritten-style fonts for the information sections create a warm and personal feel. The use of dark grey ink on craft paper enhances the rustic appeal, while copper highlights add a touch of luxury.
The color palette revolves around muted, earthy tones to complement the craft paper background. Dark grey ink is used for the main text and illustrations, with copper highlights adding a touch of opulence and warmth. The floral and ornamental illustrations are delicately colored with soft greens, browns, and hints of gold, creating a harmonious and refined composition.
For the beer's name, a selection of vintage fonts is used, elegantly displayed at the top of the label to create a lasting impression. The handwritten-style fonts for the beer's information sections add a personal touch, conveying a sense of craftsmanship and care.
