6 New York City-area breweries shipped off to London to pour at the city’s marquee craft beer festival and brew 6 collaboration beers with 6 London breweries. They’re calling it The Skyline Project, and it’s a first-of-its-kind Transatlantic collaboration that releases in September in the UK.
featuring kcbc, of course.
interview with the amazing designer of the kcbc labels.
WHY DON’T YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO WHERE YOU’RE AT NOW? We can go way back on this question but to be brief I can say that for as far back as I can remember I liked drawing a lot. The desire to create images has stuck it out in me through ups and downs. Like a lot of other people it was a coping mechanism at first, a way to exercise control, a pretense to interact with people. For a person like me because that was all pretty important as I was a bit of an introverted kid. I’ve been friendly with the head brewer Peter Lengyel for 13 years. He was working in biology at the time and had started home brewing in earnest in, I believe, 2006 and shortly thereafter embarked on becoming a professional brewer. When he opened up KCBC with his partners he approached me to produce some labels and see what would come out. I can say safely that we gelled well and have gone on to make some interested work together.
it’s great that my brewery is the best in nyc even though the article starts kind of shit. nonsense like “no one has heard of it”, “fledgling” etc is perhaps this writers idea of “edgy”, but it’s also very inaccurate. it gets better after that.
you can now buy memberships to my brewery! limited quantities, so move quickly
Bushwick was once one of the country’s major beer-making centers. At one point before Prohibition, 10% of all beer produced in the United States originated in Brooklyn, and the majority of it was from Bushwick. Now, for the first time in 40 years, a new brewery will open in the neighborhood. Kings County Brewers Collective will be the first to make beer in Bushwick since Schaefer.
