Tips For Creating Brewery Logos
To craft a great logo, you need to know the design process that comes with it. These are:
Decide on your brand identity
Knowing what kind of brewery you want to be known as is essential when deciding your logo. After all, your logo is your brand’s main identifier. Your logo design will dictate what kind of “image” your customers associate with you.
Take a look at the Stella Artois logo. They have a sophisticated and elegant emblem logo design that references their historical roots. It’s very fitting for the long-running brewery company.
On the other hand, Bud Light’s logo is clean, bright, and modern. The blocky sans-serif font and bright blue color palette make them look friendly and refreshing, which is fitting for their beer which is known for its light and excellent taste.
Thrown in some references
The brewery industry is usually steeped in history and tradition. It’s even more popular for microbreweries or craft breweries, as they usually focus on using local ingredients using traditional brewing methods, or focus on distributing it to their local community.
An example would be Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s logo. It shows a beautiful mountain range, which is a nod to their California roots and the founder’s love for the outdoors.
Ever notice the iconic gold harp on the Guinness logo? That’s also a nod to their Irish heritage. It’s meant to represent the famous 14th-century Irish harp known as the “O’Neill” harp.
Consider your typography
Your typography will also dictate how your customers will perceive you. This is crucial if you plan to use your brewery’s name as your main visual point.
Try to come up with your font or at the very least, play around with how you align or layout it. Be inspired by famous wordmark logos like Budweiser, Asahi, Modern Times Beer, and Stillwater Artisanal.
Brewery Logo Design Examples
Let’s look at logo concepts that will leave you in high spirits. We’ve categorized them into three groups below:
Emblem Logos
An emblem logo is a popular choice for breweries as it conveys the feeling of tradition, history, and heritage. The intricate details and complex design also give off a sense of artistry and craftsmanship, which breweries want to embody with their hand-crafted beer products.

Modern Logos
Breweries can also be for a modern audience. You can do this by focusing on distinct typography, using simplified beer illustrations, or prioritizing a minimalist approach. While minimalist logos are typically associated with black and white, you don’t have to be limited by that. A great example is the Heineken logo. They kept the design clean and simple by focusing on their distinctive font while still maintaining a vibrant green color scheme.
Other modern logos examples are BrewDog, Brooklyn Brewery, Magic Rock Brewing, and Busch Light.

Only some breweries want to focus on a traditional design. Some want to appeal to a younger audience. And that’s fine, too! You can see many fun and vibrant logos in new craft breweries and brewpubs. These feature unconventional illustrations, cute mascots, neon color palettes, and whimsical typographies.
Some famous examples would be the logos of Beavertown Brewery, Mikkeller Beer, and Omnipollo.
