It was a tough job to analyze the creativity and originality of the finalists, who were divided into six categories: visual and aesthetic appeal, creativity and originality, impact, brand identity, usability and messaging, and design brief.

“It’s fantastic to see how talented the industry’s designers are, just a few years ago, beer can designs might have been considered pretty boring, today they are an artist’s blank CANvas! Along with all of our campaign partners, we couldn’t be prouder to play our part in sharing the love of craft beer and celebrating our amazing industry,” concluded Mike Bray, GABS Craft Beer Festival.
