Das Hella Guten

The Brandit was hella stoked when asked to develop the branding of this collaboration beer by these two beer industry giants: Germany’s Weihenstephan, the worlds oldest brewery founded in 1040, and Sierra Nevada from the United States, one of the most influential craft breweries. Our solution pays homage to Weihenstephan’s heritage and history while giving a clear nod to California culture.

To keep up with it’s ever-growing following of craft connoisseurs, Cigar City Brewing needed a brand refresh worthy of it’s sky rocketing popularity. The Brandit worked with Cigar City to stay true to their roots and local history in tobacco manufacturing. With illustrations and scenes of Tampa Bay tobacco rollers, Florida Cracker Cowboys and local pirate legend Jose Gaspar, the designs are sure to impress Cigar City followers, past and present.

The Chronicles of Ravinia

A tall tale based on a local town and the characters you might meet while visiting. Each character’s stories intertwine to tell the tale of Ravinia, Illinois. The Brandit designed creative packaging that features a character or scene from the fable. Each character’s story intertwines with the next, and if you look closely, you’ll spot a clue from the next chapter on each can.

Hop On (pun intended)

Come take a ride with Brew Bus Brewing out of Tampa, Florida and enjoy some amazing craft beer. Our approach to the branding for Brew Bus was a result of a simple concept effectively executed: Why not make the product names out of roads, right? This brand refresh created a smooth ride into new markets with noticeably more brand recognition — and more sales.

Located on the third floor of Legacy West Food Hall in Plano, Texas, Unlawful Assembly Brewing Company lives to push the boundaries of innovation — of the brewing industry and the local community.

Inspired by the vibrant colors of the local buildings and celebratory display of alfombras during Semana Santa in Antigua, Guatemala, Antigua Cerveza’s brand takes visual cues from local history and architecture. It’s bright, intricate, and hand- crafted. From the custom lettered logo to the illustrative, geometric patterns on the packaging, The Brandit applied their focus to the small details for a large impact.

Sweet Heat

Founded by a husband and wife duo, The Farmer’s Daughter line of jellies combines traditional Southern Louisiana flavor with the complexity of sweet heat. The Brandit created a package design that uses vibrant colors and detailed, intertwining illustrations to capture the unique ingredients of the recipes as well as the couple’s “halo and horns” approach to life — and peppers.

Real Virginia Beer

Blue Mountain Brewery’s spirit and location enables visitors to relax in the natural beauty of Virginia’s countryside. The Brandit refreshed the brewery’s look to represent this connection to the land with soulful, yet not-too-serious packaging that literally brings the beer’s ingredients to life. In the words of brewery co-founder, Taylor Smack, “It’s perfectly us.”

LIFE’S A RIOT

Based in Chemainus, BC, Riot Brewing Co creates bold beers that celebrate the founders’ fun, irreverent personality. The Brandit developed a big, bright identity that embraces the counter-culture, skate and punk scene glory, full of in-your-face attitude while still telling those stories in a way we can all relate to from this crazy thing called life.

Gettin’ Sticky Wit It!

Located just outside of Philadelphia (get the above reference now?), Stickman Brews came to us looking for a brand unlike any other. We took our creative selves back to the days of doodling and sketching in our high school notebooks — when we should have been paying attention to the teachers — for inspiration for this fun brand.

FRESH FISH, FRESH BEER

While IBC has been a mainstay with Carpinteria locals, new competition created an environment of needing to lead in the regional craft beer scene, rather than merely  keeping up with it. The Brandit came on board to evolve the brand to better embody Island’s spirit, recapture craft industry momentum and expand into cans.
