Hello everyone!
I run a small design company (Hired Guns Creative) on Vancouver Island that is focused on providing naming, branding, packaging design, and marketing services to alcohol producers.
When we started out five years ago, we focused on wineries here in BC but have broadened our niche in the past couple of years to include craft breweries and artisan distilleries.
Anyway, I don't want this to sound like an infomercial. If you're interested, you can check out our portfolio.
My interest in this forum is to start to wrapping my head around the distilling industry in the US. The fledgling BC distillery industry is showing great promise but, due to legislative issues that have only recently been resolved, is still quite far behind the growth you folks have seen in the US. Mostly, I'm here to read, learn, and chat about packaging design with anyone who might be interested.
Sláinte!
