Located in the neighborhood of Ohio City in Cleveland, Ohio, Hansa Brewery is brewing award-winning German biers and serving them up alongside authentic Eastern European cuisine. This along with their adjacent Import Haus that has stood as a staple of the community continue to make Eastern European immigrants in the area feel at home.
When I was asked to design the label for their Crowlers, the cans that would allow guests to take these biers home… I wanted to honor Hansa’s history & place in the community. To do this, I chose to base it on their memorable iron gate that welcomes new visitors and the regulars that enter for a taste of home.
