Corporate Ladder Brewing Company is a brewery in Palmetto, Florida that produces world-class beer using a variety of modern and traditional brewing methods. From hazy IPAs and pastry sours, to lagers and barrel-aged stouts, Corporate Ladder excels in nearly every category. Their taproom sells draft beer for on-site consumption and also offers beers to-go in cans & bottles. I had the opportunity to design several beer labels for the brewery, including a horchata-inspired pastry stout and a series of lagers.
Float an Idea is an imperial stout brewed using homemade rice milk and conditioned on almonds, cinnamon sticks, & Mexican vanilla beans.
The artwork, a cinnamon stick pontoon boat in a sea of horchata, takes cues from the beer’s ingredients and the collaboration with Pontoon Brewing.
Corporate Ladder Brewing Company satirizes many elements of the workplace culture that they’re trying to run away from. The brewers’ love for traditional lagers, along with their slogan, “Stop climbing and start living”, helped shape the creative direction for this series. Each label features an illustration of a worker seated inside a cubicle, and the beers are named after individual objects within the cubicle.
