HANSA BREWING

Located in the neighborhood of Ohio City in Cleveland, Ohio, Hansa Brewery is brewing award-winning German biers and serving them up alongside authentic Eastern European cuisine. This along with their adjacent Import Haus that has stood as a staple of the community continues to make Eastern European immigrants in the area feel at home.

St. Swignatius

In 1627, someone at the headquarters of the Flemish province of the Jesuits in Brussels thought it was a good idea to investigate the brewing methods of their subsidiary monasteries. Belgian historians rediscovered this recipe and “St. Swignatius” is a rendition of said recipe created by Hansa Brewery’s Head Brewer Corey Miller and sponsored by the Jesuit Priests of Saint Ignatius High School exclusively for The West Side Catholic Center’s 7th Annual Sips & Swigs 2020.

crowler labels

When I was asked to design the label for their Crowlers, the cans that would allow guests to take these biers home… I wanted to honor Hansa’s history & place in the community. To do this, I chose to base it on their memorable iron gate that welcomes new visitors and the regulars that enter for a taste of home.
