The challenge

Beer. It should be fun, right? Especially craft beer, with its weirdly whimsical flavours, super-dedicated brewers and hang-them-in-the-Louvre beer can designs.

Problem is, all that lovely stuff is usually reserved for the brewers, not the ecommerce brands selling the beer. So it was our mission to bring that joyful buzz of beer to HonestBrew.

The spirit of 5 o'clockism

We defined HonestBrew as a Jester brand archetype, a good-time Charlie that didn’t take itself seriously — but still had serious love for its craft. Second, we brewed up a brand essence of ‘5 o’clockism’, the joyful spirit that runs throughout the brand and that says, with a can of craft in your hands, the good times are set to roll.

Raising glasses, raising smiles
The result
The result

Jesters are bold, colourful, funny. So that’s what we made HonestBrew.

We gave them a palette popping with attention-grabbing colours and a big, friendly font which makes the words look like they’re smiling. The new tone of voice is lighthearted and irreverent, while our hand-drawn doodles (aka brewdles) give HonestBrew a unique signature that promotes recall.

The result is a brand with broad appeal (not one reserved just for craft aficionados) designed to help more people appreciate the joy of craft beer.

We’ll say ‘Salut’ to that.
