Karbach Brewing Co. Refreshes Iconic Beer Packaging
Karbach Brewing Co., renowned as Texas' second-largest craft brewery, is making waves with a fresh update to the packaging for some of its most beloved beers. As the brewery marks its 15th anniversary, they've chosen to revamp the visuals of four of their top brews:
Hopadillo Texas IPA,
Love Street Blonde,
Crawford Bock, and
Rodeo Clown Double IPA. This is the first major packaging redesign since the brewery's inception in Houston in 2011, and it reflects both a celebration of their past and a commitment to their future.
This redesign comes to life through a collaboration between the Austin-based creative studio Helms Workshop and Karbach’s in-house marketing team, helping to create a cohesive and modern aesthetic across the lineup of beers that embody the brewery's spirit. The new look aims to deliver a visual identity that resonates with the character and quality of the brews inside.
Highlighting Iconic Brews
The beers receiving the makeover are not only fan favorites, but they also represent the essence of Karbach Brewing.
1. Hopadillo Texas IPA: This flagship IPA features a robust blend of hops, including German Magnum, Cascade, Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, and East Kent Goldings. At 6.6% ABV, it's crafted for those who enjoy bold, bitter flavors.
2. Love Street Blonde: A Kölsch-style blonde ale brewed specifically for the Texas heat. With an ABV of 4.9%, it’s light-bodied with floral notes and a crisp finish, making it a refreshing choice for warmer days.
3. Crawford Bock: With an ABV of 4.5%, this smooth bock is brewed with Munich and caramel malts. Perfect for casual gatherings or game days, it proudly supports the Astros Foundation, adding a community touch to every sip.
4. Rodeo Clown Double IPA: For those who prefer a richer experience, this double IPA boasts an impressive 9.5% ABV and flavorful notes of toffee, stone fruit, citrus, and pine. It's for the adventurous beer lover looking for something profound.
Chris Meyer, the general manager of Karbach Brewing, shared insights on the inspiration behind the redesign, stating, "After 15 years of brewing beers that Texans love, we realized it was time to update our look. The result is a refreshed, more unified identity that brings consistency across the lineup and better reflects the character, quality, and energy behind every beer. It’s the same great beer, just with a new look."

The updated packaging began rolling out across major Texas cities including
Houston,
