Australia’s St Arnou Premium Beer company won seven packaging awards at the recent World Beer Championships.
The premium beer company was the only Australian-owned brewer to win a packaging award in the 2008 championships held in Chicago.
St Arnou national sales manager — packaged beer, Nick Allardice, said the 18 months spent designing the bottle from scratch had clearly paid off.
“We’re very excited and humbled. We wanted a bottle that stood out and made people buy it the first time, knowing the beer would make them buy it again,” Allardice said.
