Beersplosion.

One of my Otterbraus exploded today. It was my first ever beer bottle explosion.  Now I remember why I don't usually make beer in summer.  I also learnt why it's important to not store beer on the carpet in the spare room.

I was actually quite relieved when I found out it was a beer that had exploded.  I was in the middle of cooking up a batch of Goldenbrau with a new gas burner at the time.  I had temporarily left it boiling unattended when heard the bang, and I had visions of faulty gas burner induced fireballs engulfing my garage.

Still, I got to spend a pleasant evening cleaning beer off the walls.  The carpet still stinks like Zythos hops though.

Romp

A romp of Otterbraus.  Or possibly a lodge of Otterbraus, I'm not sure.

Labels

Here are all the Highetbrau labels I've done to date.  I am by no means a graphic designer, but I think they've turned out pretty good.

The aesthetic is intended to be psuedo-Germanic, taking inspiration from classic German beer labels, Euro-Disney, Motorhead, and cheesy German-themed restaurants.

Deep Creek American IPA

It shouldn't really have a label because I bought the wort pre-made from Deep Creek Brewery, and it has nothing to do with aquatic mammals, but I don't care - I'm calling it Otterbrau.
