the KÉK — contemporary architecture center — of hungary celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. the cultural hub and professional workshop has worked continuously to further architecture and design discourse, and has organized nearly 500 events in the past year alone. in celebration, KÉK has collaborated with hungarian designer kissmiklos to create ‘C10’ — a craft beer for architects.

‘C10’ is an india pale ale style brew, and its name is derived from two ideas: celebrating the 10th, and in homage to ‘C10’ concrete. the label is composed of three technical drawings of structures in budapest, and its color scheme refers to the word KÉK, which aside from being the center’s acronym, means blue in hungarian.

in addition to the beer, kissmiklos and KÉK designed a steel carrying case and series of concrete coasters. the limited edition ‘C10’ will help raise funds and support for the contemporary architecture center’s foundation. the drink is sold separately or in packs of four or six at KÉK.
