Jim Stitt Labels Anchor Steam Christmas Ale, Annually!

Posted on December 10, 2018August 15, 2020 By Ann Thompson

At our last Geezer Gath­ering, Jim Stitt brought this Anchor Steam Christmas Ale poster that shows the full collec­tion of 39 labels designed for Anchor Steam Ale. For forty years Jim has created labels (illus­tra­tions and lettering) entirely by hand and without the aid of computer programs. Each year the Christmas label required a new choice of tree, new lettering in a new arrange­ment working with the same few colors.
I also show some of Jim’s line studies. Much study is needed, in order to repre­sent each indi­vidual tree.

There are a lot of Anchor Steam Beer and Jim Stitt sites to see, so without me having to re-write a lot of infor­ma­tion —his following site tells a lot:

I have shown more of Jim’s artwork and history on our: jim-stitt-design Here you will see Jim’s boat in Sausalito where he lived and worked.

On their website you can read Jim’s bio and there is an ANCHORSTEAM YouTube Video that shows Jim in action.

Ann Thompson,
With our best seasonal wishes to our readers–
and to Piet Halber­stadt who presents our Geezers’ Gallery

But it’s Ann that does all the work.
