Motor Craft Ales new labels for their beers so stunning that you’ll almost feel bad cracking open a bottle to drink it….almost.
In what was a three month process, the nano brewery took inspiration from 1960’s era French colours. The result were beautiful label designs.
Here are a few of them with the tasting notes of the beers they represent. Which new label is your favourite?
