Brewery Themes

Country Boy in Lexington. They have a good thing going, and the name appeals to a lot of locals. They make some awesome beer to boot, especially their barrel-aged stuff.

 

My favorite is Ska Brewing in Durango. Making all of us punks happy.

 

Sort of a tie between Prairie and Against the Grain

 

Comrade Brewing certainly has an interesting theme. I actually really wish they made a tacker of their logo so I could buy one.

 

I like the satirical patronizing messages from Arrogant Bastard, the drink it in a can theme from Alchemist, the irreverent titles of Evil Twin, and the weed themes of Otter Creek and Lagunitas.

 

This is a good question, I think. I'm thinking of my favorite craft breweries and other than the label artwork, I can't really come up with any "themes" any of them have. But, it does remind me of a video review I saw recently where the brew had an "occult" inspired label. Totally tongue in cheek, I'm sure. But the reviewer had kind of a laugh to himself, saying, "Oh, look, these guys are trying to be edgy. No. Putting a pentagram on your beer isn't edgy, guys.... if you really want to be edgy put a rebel flag on the can." I think Lucky Bucket out of Nebraska has a cool theme or at least logo. Very classy, and classic/retro look.

 

I really like Ballast Points fish thing and the skeletons.

Old Dominion in DE has an old school pinup military style theme on their labels.

 

Yes! I totally forgot the Old Dominion WWII pinups. Those girls are hot!!

 

Brasserie d'Achouffe with their gnomes.

 

Grimm makes art

 

Magic Hat has some nice art work on their labels.

 

The Dudes in Torrance. It's themed after the Big Lebowski.

 

We need more german style breweries in the US. Places like Live Oak in Austin (which I've never been to )

 

I'm a fan of BP theme as well.

 

In USA, Ballast Point. Love their labels and names with fishes and fishing.

Outside the States, my favorite is Cantillon. Always fun new crafty challenges with perfect groundworks. Even their labels - especially Fou - are pieces of attwork.

 

Omnipollo makes great bottle designs and wonderful beers!

 

I don't know, Hoof Hearted has a totally off color name that really hit home and is quite memorable and obviously is working to gain them popularity, so I am gonna suggest some names for new breweries to get that same reaction.

I Hate You Brewing
GFY and Die Brewpub
We Piss In The Fermenters Beer Company
Brewmaster Has TB Brewing, Inc.
Clueless Brewery and Pub

 

Another vote for Omnipollo, absolutely love their bottle art. Simplistic but almost elegant I must say.

 

But do they have a pub or tasting room to carry that theme? That would be great - Grandpa's Hooters - "Pinups & Pilsners"
