We are excited to share that two Great Lakes Brewing Co. packages have earned “Crushie” Awards at the annual Craft Beer Marketing Awards!

In the category of Best Can Design / Printed Can (All Sizes) our new year-round Vibacious Double IPA 12 oz. Can received the coveted Platinum Crushie Award. According to the Craft Beer Marketing Awards, the Platinum Crushie is the most prestigious nomination within a regional category. The expressive and colorful Vibacious Double IPA Can was designed by illustrator Sam Hadley, with GLBC Creative Manager Jameson Campbell.

In the category of Best Packaging Design / For Cans our 2022 Barrel Aged Christmas Ale 4-Pack received a Gold Crushie Award. This textured, celebratory package was designed by GLBC Creative Manager Jameson Campbell.
