Lindemans Brewery has been recognised at the World Beer Awards, not only for its beers but also for its outstanding packaging design.
The family-owned brewery took home three design awards. The new label design for the entire Lindemans range was awarded gold in the bottle range/redesign/relaunch category. Limited edition Gueuze Dark Cuvée René received silver for special edition design and bronze for bottle label design.
To celebrate the 85th birthday of René Lindemans, the fifth generation of the brewing family, Lindemans released a special edition of 20,000 bottles of Gueuze Dark Cuvée René.
The design reflects the beer’s deep colour and rich character. The name ‘Dark’ refers to the warm, dark hue of the lambic, achieved through the innovative use of roasted wheat. After two years of maturation in oak casks, the lambic was further refined for one year in 20-year-old cognac barrels.
“This Gueuze is more than a special beer, it is a tribute to my father and his pioneering spirit,” said Geert Lindemans. “The design mirrors the beer’s character and embodies our ongoing pursuit of innovation and quality. Having that message recognised makes this award extra special.”
René added: “Our passion for brewing has always spoken through what is in the glass. To see the bottle’s design honoured as well is a true tribute to the family heritage that has been passed from generation to generation.”
