SPINIFEX BREWING CO.
Australian artist Ian Coate

I am very proud to be associated with Spinifex Brewing Co. Spinifex is a veteran owned Brewing Company that generously gives back to the community. They produce a beer named F88 Lager (named after the F88 Austeyr). Spinifex donates 50% of the profits from this beer to military mental health and wellbeing charities in each state.
I have enjoyed creating military & Australian themed artworks to embody their slogan: ‘The Taste of Australia’.  As an artist to a brewing company, I get the opportunity to taste the products I’m designing artworks for (it’s the bloke’s equivalent to working at a chocolate factory) and Spinifex certainly does make a great brew.

I was first approached by Spinifex CO, Adam, as he was interested in using one of my past artworks for Spinifex’s new lager: the Australian Light Horse Lager.  I was delighted at the prospect of one of my artworks on a beer can.  The Spinifex team did a great job and below is the results.

With the promotions of this new label, I was introduced to the WA 10th Light Horse Organisation and actor Jason Conner.  Adam and I discussed the opportunity to do further promotional artworks for the Light Horse Lager with the generous help of Jason and the WA 10th Light Horse Organisation.

LOGISTICS LAGER

This label is a lager that Spinifex made especially for 13 CSSB, to commemorate the 120 year milestone for logistics in Western Australia.  The design comes from the artwork I produced for the occasion.

ANZAC Jersey for Western Force

Due to Spinifex’s special relationship with  Western Force, I had the rare opportunity to create an artwork for their ANZAC Round.  I was even invited to speak to the players at the club.  It was a great experience; the players were very attentive and welcoming.  Thanks Spinifex & Western Force for the experience.

The success of SPINIFEX BREWING Co.

It’s been a lot of fun going on this ride with Spinifex.  I have met some amazing people who are passionate with what they do; plus, it has been a real thrill to walk into a bottle shop or pub and see my artwork on a lager that I like to drink and I am proud to be associated with.
