For Mexican Chocolate Stout, Copper Kettle Brewing found inspiration in a 500 year old Aztec recipe for Mexican hot chocolate. The foil labels are printed with a copper ink and feature a custom Aztec cacao God.
Copper Kettle Brewing Company opened in 2011 in a suburb of Denver as a local, neighborhood brewery. Within their first year, they won a gold medal at GABF in the Herb & Spice beer category with their Mexican Chocolate Stout. They quickly grew and started packaging their beers. Emrich Office was hired to improve their identity and develop a packaging design for Mexican Chocolate Stout.
