We're celebrating 21 years of the studio this year!

And what a terrific year it's been already!

There's been the greenlighting of our latest series The Stinky & Dirty Show, 3 wins at the inaugral Irish Animation Awards, the release of a series of Irish animation stamps from An Post featuring our Oscar Nominated short Give Up Yer Aul Sins, a partnership with Scholastic UK AND three Emmy Award nominations!

And now we're FINALLY 21!

Brown Bag Films is now officially old enough to have a beer in the U.S.!

And what better way to celebrate that fact than with the Brown Bagger crew getting an opportunity to design their very own beer label?

Our lovely neighbours at L Mulligan Grocer with their brewers, the Brown Paper Bag Project, have celebrated the people of Brown Bag Films with the launch of a wonderful brew, the Aul Bruin Bagger, using a label designed by our very own crew!

And not only that, but the label incorporates the Brown Baggers in a very cool way ON the label itself - in caricature form!

Take a look through the doodles below matched up with the Brown Bagger they represent!

We had a bash in the Generator Hostel to celebrate the launch, check out some pics from the night:

While Brown Bag Films merchandise will always remain child-orientated, this special limited edition beer can be bought exclusively in L Mulligan Grocer while stocks last.

Now, time to go blow out the candles and gobble up our birthday cake!
