BUILD THE WORLD, NOT JUST THE LABEL

A brewery identity built around the Feral Crew — an illustrated character family that gives every release its own story without breaking the shelf system.

THE PROJECT

THE PROJECT

Built around The Feral Crew — a lineup of illustrated mascots, one per flagship beer — South Reno Fermentory’s identity needed to feel wild, local, and recognizable on a shelf full of quieter labels.

Built the identity around The Feral Crew — illustrated characters tied to each flagship beer, meant to feel a little wild and unpredictable so fans connect with the brewery on a personal level. Every layout, from typography to can art, was planned for screen printing and packaging production from the start. A high-contrast, earthy palette keeps it grounded without losing the rebellious edge.

Each beer receives a character, landscape, palette, and story while a shared hierarchy keeps the line unmistakably SRF. The result can expand release by release without turning into unrelated can art.
