Curtis at HopHeadSaid has asked us all to write about “fabulous world of beer art found on coasters, labels and caps” for The Session #55. The basics:
Choose your favorite label, coaster or cap art.
Scan, download or take a picture of your label, coaster or cap art.
Write a paragraph that explains your affinity to your entry. Your explanation can be as shallow as or as deep as you want.
If the brewery name or beer name is obscured be sure to label your entry to give credit where credit is due.
Please limit your entries to commercial examples. Homebrew labels will be a topic for another session.
Extra karma points will be awarded to those who write about two or more categories (label, coaster or cap art).
Post your blog entry on or before Friday, September 2, 2001 and e-mail your link to curtis [at] hopheadsaid [dot] com.
Plenty of options. I don’t think I’ve ever shown you the Hieronymus beer label we own. Or our collection of Sierra labels. I suspect, however, I’ll end up scanning a coaster. Coaster memories more often reflect context. The terroir of the moment.
