NOBELTON, ON – King Brewery has won a pair of medals in the 2011 World Beer Championships Packaging Competition, as announced earlier this month by the Beverage Tasting Institute in Chicago.
Both medals – a Silver in the Creativity Category, and a Bronze in the Form Category – were awarded to the brewery’s “Three Kings” gift box, a package released for Christmas last year containing bottles of King Pilsner, King Dark Lager and King Vienna Lager along with a branded glass.
Designed in conjunction with Walter Leipurts of WL Design Inc., the “Three Kings” package is described in a statement as one “that would stand out on retail shelves, clearly explaining the unique qualities of the product and provided the consumer with a souvenir lager drinking glass that brings out the best qualities of the product.”
