The beer is brewed by the local women of Ziro, at a particular location where the brewery is located. It looks forward to promoting employment to women from Ziro, further enhancing the experience of the indigenous drink. The packaging components are also woven and made by the people of Ziro, which promotes employment and uplifts the otherwise declining economic market of the North East India.
                                                                                   WHAT'S ON THE LABEL?
The packaging identity is based on basic geometric shapes which symbolize the culture of Arunachal Pradesh and the brand story of O'ale. These shapes when combined tell visual stories of the land from where the beer is being produced and change their colours depending on the flavour of the beer. A pack of four cans or bottles, called as a Hangover Pack, comes with a bamboo tumbler, which eases the experience of carrying a beer can while travelling by ensuring grip and also acts a container to pour the beer in which could be later saved as a souvenir.
