The artwork

A black-and-white photographic portrait of a bearded man's head occupies the centre of a cream ground, topped by a geometric abstract shape in blue, yellow, and green. The beer name and style appear in sans-serif caps above the image; a small equal sign floats to the right of the header. The overall composition is symmetrical and frontal, with the portrait rendered in grayscale halftone against deep black, while the coloured geometric element above introduces the only chromatic accent.

From the label

“Our passion for bringing the best liquid to market has evolved over two decades from importing Belgian beers, to working with gypsy brewers, to opening our own brewery. In this brewery a dynamic team of brewers has emerged, and we now present their creativity and expertise in a new brand – Van Ewing; named for our founders, built by our growing family. The aim of Van Ewing is simple – a creative outlet for a world-class team of craft beer professionals who have been doing this for a very long time, but never with a unified brand of our own to truly flex our collective muscle. Until now.”
