Diageo Ireland has unveiled its new range of Smithwick’s craft beers with packaging design created by JDO Brand Design & Innovation.

Tasked with creating designs which maintained a cohesive ‘look & feel’ with the core Smithwick’s masterbrand, the first ale to launch is ‘Winter Spirit Ale’, forming part of the new Smithwick’s ‘Innovations’ portfolio of ales.

“JDO’s beautiful new designs have allowed us to expand the Smithwick’s range and mean that we can drive the brand forward to its next phase of development,” said Christine Keohane, senior brand manager for Smithwick’s at Diageo Ireland.

JDO design director, Ray Smith, added: “Our inspiration for the Winter Spirit Ale was drawn from the rich, dark colour of the ale itself with its character reflected through a unique blend of orange and copper tones featured in the design.”

A summer ale is set to follow ‘Winter Spirit’ next year.
