Studio Malt consults on craft beer design exhibit

October 23, 2025

It was an honor to have Studio Malt asked to consult on the “Design on Draft” exhibit at the Design Museum of Chicago, curated by the Beer Culture Center.

The exhibit celebrates the often-overlooked artistry behind beer branding. From iconic labels to inventive packaging and marketing, graphic design shapes our experience of beer. It’s how breweries create culture, build identity, and bring people together—one story, one sip, one space at a time.

Thanks both to DMOC and BCC for inviting Malt to share insight on the city’s beer and design industries–and also for sharing some of our work for Chicago’s own Horse Thief Hollow Brewing. Cheers!
