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 Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
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.
