MISSION, BC – Mission Springs Brewery Company have won a national beer label design award for their Blonde Bombshell Ale.
Announced by the Collectors of Canadian Brewery Advertising at their 30th annual convention in Winnipeg, the award recognizes the retro-styled label as the Label of the Year for 2008.
Designed by Ron Fiedler of Barnstorm Creative Group in Vancouver, the Blonde Bombshell label is an homage to the classic pin-up images that were painted on bomber jets in World War II.

- Greg C. is drinking an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breakfast Stout by Founders Brewing Co. at King & DufferinClose to 2 years old. A bit oxidized but still everything you expect from FBS - chocolate, coffee, tasted oats & more. Always a classic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monks' Reserve Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinDoesn’t have the depth of a Belgian Trappist, but for a New World take on a Quad, it’s very good with strong malt base & nice spice notes.
- Greg C. is drinking an Extra Brut Ipa by 3 Brasseurs | 3 Brewers at The 3 BrewersHits the target for what I expect from the style - very dry, effervescent, aromatic, refreshing & quick to drink. Well done!
There were no bomber jets in World War II. The first combat operational jets were the German fighters, Me-163 and Me-262.
Sorry – not being an airplane buff, I tend to use “jet” and “plane” interchangeably.
