On-board since 2017, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with the team at Chicago's best brewery—contributing art and ideas for a handful of ongoing series, as well as one-off heaters. Photos via Jack Li.

With NEON being the brewery's largest and brightest series of brews, the label always had to be a special one—something completely out of category. Working closely with the team, I learned their labeling machine could go as small as 3/4" in height, which seemed like the perfect way to let these Pét-Nat beauties speak for themselves.
