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 a Tropic Like It's Hop by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinPassionfruit doesn’t really stand out in this, but it’s still a nice & refreshing pale ale. Would just like the flavour to pop a bit more.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Milk Stout by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinSeems like maybe the chocolate has been dialed back a bit, and that’s ok - it’s better balanced & doesn’t seem nearly as strong the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
- Greg C. is drinking a R&J's Das Haze New German-Style IPA by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryBeen a while since I’ve had a white IPA, and this reminds me how much I enjoy them. Helps that it gets the weisse+IPA balance just right.
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.
