Stillwater Contemporary Serires

Now online



Stillwater Contemporary Series "Mono"...$9.49 / 4pk
Galaxy Dry Hopped Pilsner
An evolution of the 'single hop' phenomenon. While Galaxy is featured on the label, the concept here is to showcase this headliner in it's greatest form possible, and if you ask me every hop is better when supported by others. So accents of Centennial & Sterling to widen the frequency and crank up the volume of bright tangerine, grapefruit, and fresh grass.

Label Design Notes: Because Mono showcases a primary hop and is centered on synesthesia, the typographic design ensures color dominates the eye. The word "mono" is hyphenated to acknowledge the dual nature of synesthesia - taste and color. The shade of orange used for this Galaxy edition is an homage to Massimo Vignelli. Mono is set in Futura Medium

Stillwater Contemporary Series "Stereo"...$10.99 / 4pk
India Pale Ale

Stillwater IPA?? WTF, right? Well truth be told we love a good IPA just as much as the next guy and besides, what's more contemporary then a American IPA? The lean base of Pilsner malt with the lightest touch of caramel support this high definition blend of 6 intricately layered hops gathered from around the world. Bright citrus, stone fruit, pine, earth, dank, crisp & fucking delicious.

Label Design Notes: Stereo's geometric pattern is reminiscent of early speaker covers and is also influenced by the textiles of Alexander Girard. The type is set in Helvetica Neue LT Std so that we could maximize the area used for the pattern on the label without compromising legibility of the mandatory text.




Stillwater Contemporary Series "Surround"...$11.99 / 4pk
Imperial Oak-Smoked Wheat Stout
10.0% ABV

Like a sound system that fills the room with audibles swarming in every direction. This massive stout overtakes your senses with aromas & flavor of dark chocolate, caramel, roast, smoke, earth & wood, It's heavy I know, but you have to drop that bass every once in a while if you really wanna get down.

Label Design Notes: Surround's geometric pattern is based on a piece of tape used by an early analog computer that may have been used in multi-track music production during the 1960s. The type is set in Helvetica Neue LT Std so that we can maximize the area used for the pattern on the label without compromising legibility of the mandatory text.
