I’d like to introduce you to the Fallen Angel Microbrewery, the smallest brewery in East Sussex. Why am I suddenly talking about beer? Well, although I drink very little of it myself, I have recently become involved in creating labels for this rather special brewery…and it’s not just me who thinks they are special – last year they walked off with the prize for best drink producer of the year at the `Sussex Food and Drinks Awards’. With names such as ‘Kama Sumatra’, ‘Naughty Nun’ and ‘Fire in the Hole Chilli Beer’, Fallen Angel’s beers certainly warrant closer inspection!


I met Tony Betts, the brewer, and his wife Gabi, at Earl’s Court last year. They are a very friendly couple and passionate about their beers which are all handcrafted with the finest natural ingredients. Since I am also passionate about what I do, it seemed entirely fitting when they asked me to design new labels that would put some country sexiness back into beer.

 

Now I must mention my own favourite. Without doubt, their Dark Mead is the best I have ever tasted. Not only is the flavour gloriously honeyed and delicate but the shapes of the bottles are very pleasing and fun to give as gifts.
