As we mentioned a few weeks ago, we had made &#8230;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.koodoz.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/angled-pair-300x225.jpg" alt="Koodoz Draught &#039;Koldie&#039; and Koodoz Premium Belgian Lager &#039;Kräutbrau&#039;" title="angled-pair" width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-1873" />

<p>As we <a href="http://www.koodoz.com.au/klog/general/somethins-a-brewin-in-the-koodoz-kitchen/">mentioned</a> a few weeks ago, we had made up our minds on <em>the</em> client gift for two-double-o-nine that was gonna smash <a href="http://www.koodoz.com.au/klog/general/the-delivery-of-dozens-of-delicious-donuts-donning-a-delightfully-dusted-design-is-done/">last year&#8217;s donut idea</a> outta the park.</p>

<p>Well, after about 2 weeks of brewin&#8217; down at the local <a href="http://www.barleycornbrewers.com/" rel="external">Barleycorn Brewers</a>, a week worth of &#8216;post-production&#8217; 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!<span id="more-1871"></span></p>

<p>Now, to make sure we were able to satisfy most people&#8217;s discerning palates, we decided to brew two different types of beers. The first was a &#8217;standard issue&#8217; Carlton Draught stunt double, which we dubbed the <em>Koodoz Draught Koldie &#8211; The cure for climate change</em>. The other was a &#8216;pseudo premium&#8217; Stella Artois, which we named <em>Kräutbrau &#8211; Premium Belgian lager. made with liebe</em> :)</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>All in all, it was a really fun side project for us and I&#8217;m certain all of our clients will enjoy their chilled beverages over the summer break and festive season.</p>

<p>The only downside to all of this, is now we have to start thinking of something even better for next years gift &#8211; we&#8217;re 100% open to suggestions :)</p>
