    I discovered this adorably packaged beer a few months ago in a tiny beer store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (wish I remembered the name, but they carried so many beers I’ve never seen before, many with beautiful labels—but I bought one of the Hitachino beers 100% for the label design). I’m happy to see Dieline put together a post with the cute Owl. Hitachino Nest Beer (via TheDieline.com via notcot)
