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 HYGGE (2017) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinOne year old. Creamy medium body, well-integrated coffee, along with notes of dark malt, vanilla & toasted hazelnut. Lovely stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Bine Hunter (Comet) (2018) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNice notes from the Comet hops - grapefruit, lime leaf, cut grass - but the beer feels thin and doesn’t have a lot going on otherwise.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard of Gose - Starfruit by Bandit Brewery at Bandit BreweryPurists may sniff as it’s not completely on style, even without the fruit. But it’s a fine tart beer with tasty starfruit & a hint of salt.
- Greg C. is drinking a 25e Anniversaire by Unibroue at King & Dufferin1+ year old. Apparently the cherries on the label weren’t obvious enough for me to realize this would be cherry flavoured. Well done though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Saison Dupont by Brasserie Dupont at King & DufferinIt’s Saison Dupont. What more do I need to say? #desertislandbeer
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.
