The Koldies and Kräutbraus are on us

Koodoz Draught 'Koldie' and Koodoz Premium Belgian Lager 'Kräutbrau'

As we mentioned a few weeks ago, we had made up our minds on the client gift for two-double-o-nine that was gonna smash last year’s donut idea outta the park.

Well, after about 2 weeks of brewin’ down at the local Barleycorn Brewers, a week worth of ‘post-production’ and 2 days worth of trekking around Melbourne, we have finally, finished hand-delivering some very cool (literally on ice), custom made and designed beer to all of our wonderful clients!

Now, to make sure we were able to satisfy most people’s discerning palates, we decided to brew two different types of beers. The first was a ’standard issue’ Carlton Draught stunt double, which we dubbed the Koodoz Draught Koldie – The cure for climate change. The other was a ‘pseudo premium’ Stella Artois, which we named Kräutbrau – Premium Belgian lager. made with liebe :)

These two beautiful amber ales were lovingly hand-brewed, bottled and capped by us. We also custom designed the branded labels, applying each one individually (288 in total), as well as embellishing the sides of each 6-pack holder with a hand-cut stencil. We then went one step further and bow-tied a red satin ribbon with the Koodoz Design logo, around each 6-pack.

All in all, it was a really fun side project for us and I’m certain all of our clients will enjoy their chilled beverages over the summer break and festive season.

The only downside to all of this, is now we have to start thinking of something even better for next years gift – we’re 100% open to suggestions :)

Plain 6-pack holders were bloody hard to find, so if you’re looking to get some, get in touch with the guys over at Colna Print & Pak
