Beer

by Dan
Design & Typography + Vancouver / April 25, 2011

Beer

I just arrived this morning in Vancouver for Raincoast's Fall 2011 Sales Conference and, with 4 days of meetings ahead of me, my mind has (strangely enough) already turned to beer! 

Fortunately, we hold our conference in the lovely Listel Hotel in downtown Vancouver and, coming in from Toronto, it's always great to have some local beer and catch up with my west-coast colleagues in the bar at the end of the day.  

This sales conference tradition is also the perfect excuse to post this hilarious video for Vancouver Craft Beer Week 2011, which starts May 6th:

 
Sadly, our conference will have ended and I will be back in Toronto by the time Craft Beer Week starts, but it does remind me one of my personal favourites from the Spring 2011 season — Beer: A Genuine Collection of Cans.
 
Beer Interior Page
 
Containing the nearly 500 cans from 32 countries — including long-forgotten brews to classic brands — the book is a treasure-trove of retro package design and bygone typography all beautifully photographed and presented.
 
It was one of our hidden gems this season, and I can't wait to find out what fantastic new books we'll have in the Fall (even if it means I have to wait for that beer!).
