Weekly Picks - Three A's

AWL, Ale and Artisan Denim

This week, I'll be concentrating on Act With Love a creative art project by Joe Williams. My go to beer, Remedy, a pale ale formulated by Stephen Manderson (Professor Green) and Universal Works new English made "Workshop Denim".

AWL

Act With Love is a project which intends to expand peoples ideas of design and art, to use art for the right cause. No matter how small, if you Act With Love you will make an impact. It uses the view that design should not solely be used commercially, but to communicate further than other means.

A couple of weeks back I received my limited edition screen print of Frida Gustavsson, which included a personalised typography letter. The attention to detail and feeling that comes from each and every projects is phenomenal.

Recently AWL have put up a website to explain what it is all about and what projects are on the horizon, all money raised by AWL will be donated or used to expand and grow AWL. I am proud to support Joe and I'm certain that through his talent and passion many people will benefit. 

ALE

"Refreshing and slightly bitter notes which characterise this beer and a late hopping give the strong almost 'green' aroma." this is how Signature Brew have described Professor Greens Remedy and if it was not already written, this is how I would describe it. Remedy is an american inspired British pale ale and I love the way that you can taste elements from British and US beers. There isn't much more I can say apart from that its available at most Morrisons stores or here.

Artisan Denim

Universal Works have a new venture, "Workshop Denim", premiering this Friday (April 4th). They're totally stripping back with this project, keeping it entirely produced in Europe, moving away from the big two, Japan and the USA. This collection consists of two pairs of jeans, slim and regular, and two jackets, a trucker and a chore. These products will be unbranded and unstamped on sleek simple 13oz denim, woven on vintage looms in Portugal; shiped over to England to be pieced together. See the denim from start to finish below.
