Sweet Wheat.



For a lot of beer fans, Bell's Brewery is known for big, robust brews — especially stouts. But wheat beers, including their incredibly popular Oberon, have always been a key part of their portfolio. That led Larry Bell and his brewing team to create a new Wheat Series — Wheat Two Ale, Wheat Four Ale, Wheat Six Ale, Wheat Eight Ale and Wheat Love.

Why the numbers? Pick up a six-pack to find out. Why Love? Well, who doesn't want to come home after a day of work and say they spent the day making Love? At least once, anyway.

Bell's will be releasing the series in order over the next few months. So far, we've sampled — yes, it's difficult work — Wheat Two. Our beer snob summary: damn good.

Kent Elliott, our Creative Director here at Black Lab Five, designed the labels and the six-packs. In our humble opinion, they're pretty sweet.

Friggen' comment spam. I'd like to spam them up side the head.

Mmmmmmm. Bells beer. Good work, BL5 and Kent Elliott. The only thing better than drinking a fabulous beer is drinking that beer out of a bottle with a wonderfully designed label.
