Embroidered Beer

January 9, 2014 By Jay Brooks

Here’s a fun little project by the Society of Beer Advocates (SOBA), a beer appreciation organization in New Zealand — their motto” “Beer for all the right reasons.” They provide resources for consumers, breweries, bars and restaurants, just about anybody along the distribution pipeline, and define their mission with the following:

  • To promote awareness of beer in all its flavour and diversity
  • To protect and improve consumer rights with regards to beer and associated service
  • To promote quality, choice and value for money
  • To campaign for greater appreciation of traditional crafted beer
  • To seek improvements in all licensed premises and throughout the brewing industry
  • To act as an independent resource for both the consumer, the pub trade, and the brewing industry

Toward that end in 2012 they created a SOBA poster campaign , where they created a quartet of posters aimed at “championing finely crafted, flavourful beers and encouraging responsible enjoyment of craft beer.” A local graphics firm, Base Two, designed the four posters to look embroidered on calico fabric and they all carried the message “Champions of finely crafted flavourful beers.” How cool is that?
