Land+Living: Mmmmm... beer

Culinary, Misc — December 13, 2004 Posted by James

Design and Green meet beer

Now, we always like beer... and during the holiday season we're all about "holiday cheer" if you know what we mean. So imagine how excited we were today to see TWO different blogs about beer over at our friends MoCo Loco and Treehugger. We just couldn't resist the chance to jump in with a beer blog of our own. Heck, how often do we get to talk about beer at Land+Living?!

First, MoCo shows new beer packaging by Philippe Starck for 1664, a European lager by French brewer Kronenbourg. The packaging includes a bottle in the shape of a traditional pilsner/lager glass (pssst... Harry, it's beer, not champagne), the can has a screw top and then there is, of course, a pilsner/lager glass to pour the beer into.

Next Treehugger points us to an article at Satya Magazine where Brooklyn Brewery co-founder Stephen Hindy talks about social responsibility, green design and his organically brewed Brooklyn Sustainable Porter.

YAY BEER!

Never write in a rush...

... or you'll miss something obvious, as I did. I should know better (considering the beer that I've imbibed over the years). It's definitely a pils shape. The word I was looking for, but couldn't find yesterday, was fluted. I've updated the post. Cheers!

Don't you hate it when that happens?!

There has been no shortage of edits over here, that's for sure. Let us know if you're ever in LA and we'll buy you a beer! :-D In any kind of glass you want. ;-)

I'd like to try some of that Angel City brew...

And of course, likewise if you're ever in Montreal. Harry
