Cucumber soda design
This finally made it on my radar.
Took my first sip this evening and I’m hooked. Low sugar, DRY cucumber soda. Bought a four pack.
Complete line of sodas include vanilla bean, juniper berry, lavender, lemongrass, blood orange and rhubarb. Website here. Blog here.
Brand design by Seattle-based Turnstyle.
Moonshine design
‘Moonshine now finds its first taste of legality with a recent state law in Tennessee allowing the distillation of spirits’
Of course, the ‘first legal moonshine in Tennessee’ needs some good branding.
Ole Smoky’s script logo was designed by letterpress specialist YeeHaw – with Ole Smoky Distillery owners Jessi and Joe Baker, Cory Cottingim and Tony Breeden developing the look of the mason jar bottle, label and seal.
The team at Robin Easter Design pulls it all together with a kick ass website.
More details here. Order here.

‘Hillbilly: The Real Story’
‘Hillbillies, long misunderstood and maligned as isolated and backward, actually have a 300-year history of achievement and success that has contributed significantly to our national identity.’
I caught this doc last year on the History channel.
Hillbilly: The Real Story (2008) – hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus – is a great overview of the ‘Appalachian American’ subculture that brought us moonshine whiskey, labor unions, NASCAR and country music.
Stream Hillbilly here. DVD here.
