给力酒厂-水果精酿系列

Empower Brewery – Craft Fruit Beer

这是我们继2018年后与给力酒厂的第二次合作:给力酒厂-水果精酿系列。确定这次最终采用的方案之前,我们给出了其他的几个方案。由于客户提到希望酒瓶能带有有很强的水果产地的特色,原话是这么说的“我酿的时候,反复尝,希望闭上眼睛,抿一口,就能觉得像是到了当地一样,瓶子也希望有很强的当地特色,但不要沉重的文化,要活跃一点,拿起这个瓶子到喝完它,全程就像在旅游一样。”

几次尝试后,我们确定了这个“冰箱贴”的方案。游客到了新的地方旅游通常都会买当地特色的冰箱贴,带回家贴在冰箱上,没什么具体的作用,但就像是带着一份回忆,每每看到收集了一冰箱的冰箱贴都会想驻足一会,逐个回忆旅行的经历。冰箱贴的内容通常是当地的文化符号,如风景、建筑、古迹等,它们彼此之间并无关系,甚至配色、造型毫不和谐,但当统一呈现在冰箱门上,一切又是那么的舒服,互相映衬,冰箱在这时就是一个简单的容器,容纳这些世界各地的符号和记忆,让它们互溶,形成一体,这个“体”是一种“情感”,这种“感情”在这时就是一种“回忆”。

而这次的酒瓶为何不能是这样的一个“容器”?容纳果香的馥郁和酒精的浓烈,容纳酒桌上的万种情绪和饮酒者的故事思绪,这些相互的不和谐,都被包容在这个容器里。视觉上我们“复刻”了冰箱贴的效果,精细地用矢量画法刻画了产地的人文及自然符号,“贴”在铝质裸色瓶身上(用6色印刷工艺实现),就像酿酒师带着空瓶去到了这些产地,一点点地收集当地的特色、符号,注入到酒瓶中,酿造进啤酒里,最后在呈现在大家面前。

This is our second cooperation with Empower Brewery after 2018: the Fruit Craft Beer Series. Before deciding on the final plan adopted this time, we gave several other thoughts. Since the customer mentioned that he hoped that the bottle could have strong characteristics from fruit origins, the original saying is like “When I brew, I taste it repeatedly, I hope when I close my eyes and take a sip, and it feels like I’m there. The bottle needs to have strong local characteristics, but NOT heavy culture, be lively vivid. Picking up this bottle and drinking it will be like traveling.”

After several attempts, we decided on the “fridge magnet” solution. Tourists usually buy refrigerator magnets with local characteristics when they travel in new places, and take them home and stick them on the refrigerator. There is no specific functions for those magnets, but they are memories. Whenever they see those refrigerator magnets, they will stop and think for a while and recall the travel experience one by one. The refrigerator stickers are usually local cultural symbols, such as landscapes, buildings, monuments, etc. They have nothing to do with each other, and even the color and shape are not harmonious, but when unified on the refrigerator, everything is so comfortable , the refrigerator is a simple container at this time, containing these symbols and memories from all over the world, allowing them to dissolve into each other and form a whole. This “whole” is an “emotion”, and this “emotion” at this time is “memories”.

And why can’t this beer bottle be such a “container”? Accommodating the richness of the fruity aroma and the strong alcohol taste, the tens of thousands of emotions on the drinking table and the stories and thoughts of the drinkers, these mutual disharmony would all be contained in this container. Visually, we “re-engraved” the look of the refrigerator stickers, meticulously portrayed the humanistic and natural symbols of the place of origins by vector drawing, and “pasted” it on the aluminum nude color bottle (realized by a 6-color printing process), just like brewers went to these fruits origins with empty bottles, collected local characteristics and symbols little by little, poured them into bottles, brewed them into beer, and finally presented them to everyone.
