Oskar Blues Brewery just redesigned its logo, cans and packaging

January 9, 2020Pretty Much a Press Release

Oskar Blues Brewery

Yesterday it was Left Hand Brewing, and today its fellow Coloradoan Oskar Blues Brewery sent word of a fresh look. Reminder that Oskar Blues was maybe the first craft brewery to go all-in on cans back in 2002, starting with Dale’s Pale Ale. In its first major design update in over a decade, Oskar Blues has combined its iconic imagery with a clean, bold new system. New packaging is now being distributed nationwide.

“Since the very beginning, we’ve focused on liquid innovation and making the freshest, biggest, most stoke-worthy beers for our fans,” said Oskar Blues Soul-Founder Dale Katechis. “And now the packaging is just as fresh as the beer.” 

What’s new?

All Oskar Blues packaging is new in 2020, including cans, secondary packaging and the brewery’s logo. The new look embodies the spirit of Oskar Blues – bold, brash, inspiring – with stars and stripes emblazoned on each can, flanking a badge brewery logo.

The badge, a seal-of-adventure, retains the funky font stylings of Oskar Blues’ beginnings, locked within a crest of craft beer credibility. The new system puts a modern twist on enduring design elements to create cohesion across the lineup, while still allowing each beer its own unique character.

Quick rundown of each beer’s new duds

  • The new-look Dale’s Pale Ale embraces its all-American identity in bolder-than-ever red, white and blue, and is stylistically called out for the first time as an “American Pale Ale.”
  • Mama’s Little Yella Pils has been reimagined with retro 1970’s vibes that affirm the drinkability of this Czech-style pilsner from sunrise to sunset and vice-versa.
  • Old Chub Scotch Ale returns to its roots as a malt-forward, tartan-sporting ale for public houses everywhere.
  • G’Knight Imperial Red IPA honors the story of real-life legend Gordon Knight (brewer, friend of Oskar Blues, and hero firefighter) with a forested backdrop of vibrant green. 
  • On the innovative side of the lineup, the Can-O-Bliss IPA series cans project psychedelic amounts of hop oils in a heady swirl to highlight premier hop varieties that appear throughout the series. This month, the series will transition from Can-O-Bliss Citrus IPA to Can-O-Bliss Tropical IPA, a tropical paradise in a can made with Mosaic, Azacca, Galaxy, El Dorado and Idaho 7 hops. 
  • Newcomers One-y 100 Calorie Hazy IPA and Rosé for Daze Rosé Ale hit shelves in 2019 with the new design format. A hopped-up event horizon surrounds a utilitarian black hole on the One-y can – a hint at the cosmic brewing wizardry required to pack a massive payload of hops into a 100-calorie spaceship. The petal pink of the Rosé for Daze can matches the spritzy, rosé-inspired beer inside.
