Vancouver Island Brewing

Pod Pack Packaging

August 2019

The Pod Pack, a series of collaborative beers whose packaging is inspired by the individual markings of whales from the pods.

The orca is an iconic mammal of Vancouver Island. But since 1995, the Southern Resident Killer Whales (SRKW) of Canada have declined by over 20%. So, as the brewery of Vancouver Island, VIB and One Twenty Three West decided to do something about it.

To launch the beer, we created a series of concrete fins rescending into the ground and installed them at popular tourist destinations throughout Victoria, BC. The fins visualized the decline of the Southern Resident Killer Whales from 1995 to present day.

Created at One Twenty Three West with Pierre Chan.
