Sydney creative agency WhatCameNext_ was asked by a popular brewery to design the labels for a collection of limited edition bottled ales.

The Apollo Freedom Brewery wanted consumers to be able to link the drinking occasion with the style of beer they'd chosen.

Each bottle features a different level of 'lightness', which is delivered visually through varying stages of a lunar eclipse.

The eclipse reflects the ale's suitability to different times of day, from a lower ABV Midday Session Ale through to a higher ABV Midnight Ale.

A 24-hour clock numeric features on the top left of the design.

The labels were designed to showcase the skills of the Apollo brew team while creating a premium feel for the range.

The bottle range is limited to a short-batch brewed collection.

The design could extend into collectable support material such as frosted glasswear, lightboxes, and coasters from the brand.

The use of copper foil overprinted with the moon's texture is eclipsed with a heavy gloss black ink, printed on to a charcoal black matt paper to deliver the premium cues, according to the team at WhatCameNext_.

Food & Drink Business

The largest shareholder, director, and managing director of health and wellness company Jatcorp, Zhan (Jack) Wang has resigned, effective immediately. He remains the largest shareholder. Sunny Jian Xin Liang continues as CEO.

In recent years, there has been growing recognition that food and agriculture should be viewed not solely as economic sectors but as pillars of national resilience and security. The combined pressures of geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, tech vulnerabilities, and climate change are driving broader recognition of sovereign risk in food production and supply chains, placing it alongside traditional domains of national defence and security. MEQ CEO, Remo Carbone, writes.

The a2 Milk Company says it’s expecting mid to high single-digit revenue growth in FY25, updating its previous guidance of mid single-digit. EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is expected to be broadly in line with FY24. The company has also introduced a dividend policy.
