I want to make beer labels with a traditional British look, and I've
noticed they tend to use very simple, clean fonts, very blocky, often all
caps, with little or no use of serifs.

It's somewhat similar to the font in the famous "KEEP CALM..." poster, but
heavier. That font is Caslon Egyptian, by the way.

That article mentions some alternative fonts people are using for
knockoffs/parodies of Keep Calm but none of them seem quite right for
British-style beer labels either.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for a font that fits the bill?
