I designed three labels this spring in collaboration with Left Bank Ciders in Catskill, NY. A beloved business in the village, their role within the county is much more than just a fantastic bar to get a delicious drink with friends. As a true community cider house, giving back to the environment and neighbors around them is integral to everything they do. The apples and fruits they use are foraged from wild trees throughout the Catskills and Hudson Valley. As a Catskill resident and cider fan I was delighted to be approached by the team at Left Bank to design labels for their 2022 Co-Ferments. When we started the collaboration I wanted the labels to reflect the gnarly, intriguing, and bright flavors within each bottle. More importantly, I wanted them to represent Left Bank Ciders’ deep relationship with the region we both call home.

Each blended creature represents a different blend of two fruits foraged locally by Tim, Anna, Dave, and their amazing team. The cider represented by this creature is a beautiful hazy blend of wild pear and Kingston black apple!

This creature highlights the animals that the team at Left Bank contends with when sourcing their fruit. The conversations we had early on in the design process about their foraging experience have made me appreciate their ciders even more than I already did! Thank you Left Bank for making such delicious drinks and thank you to local deer for leaving some apples behind!
