The 25 Best Beer Label Designs of 2021
Pops of vibrant color. Witty names. Hints at pop culture. Incredible geometric shapes. Whimsical characters.
These are just a few of the elements that we've seen pop up on beer labels over the past few years. Today, it takes more than just solid liquid in the can to draw business or build a brand. You need eye-catching graphics or beer names to make something stand out on the crowded shelf.
For that reason, since 2018 our friends at Hop Culture have written about their favorite beer labels of the year. Frankly, because they want to recognize the craft that goes into what's outside the can as much as what's inside.
Since all year they scroll through thousands of Instagram posts, peruse hundreds of cans on the shelves, and receive countless packages from breweries on their doorstep, they have a pretty good pulse on some of the best beer labels.
From a deep cut into the science fiction classic Dune by Frank Herbert to an Iranian poem on female- and Iranian-owned Back Home Beer's first can, prepare to be dazzled by these top picks for the 25 Best Beer Labels of 2021.
Because as we all know: We drink with our eyes first.
