Project Type: Branding
Tailwater Instruments Branding & Instrument Headstock Inlay
We had the chance to develop branding for Tailwater Instruments, a Colorado-based instrument company. Like many bluegrass musicians in Colorado, the Tailwater founders have a close connection to fly fishing in the state’s pristine mountain rivers. We developed a list of nearly 100 brand names related to Colorado, fly fishing, powder skiing, and more. The […]
Peak Ecological Services Rebranding
Not every existing business requires a full redevelopment of their brand identity. Some businesses may have started with something temporary or home-made that just ended up becoming part of their identity over time. Instead of starting from scratch and incurring many thousands of dollars of cost, some businesses can hire Fermentable Sugar to take their […]
Colorado BBQ Branding
We were approached by Highside Brewing to split off their BBQ business into a new brand. They were set on the name Colorado BBQ so we set out to build a brand identity that would match their vision. Part of their physical identity is to serve food out of a food truck (even though their […]
Highside Brewing Branding Refresh
Highside Brewing came to us in early 2021 for some graphic design guidance. They were beginning to ramp up their brewing production to expand distribution throughout the Front Range of Colorado. We worked on a number of 16 ounce tallboy can designs but also took the opportunity to refresh their brand identity. A refresh was […]
Brewhouse Coffee Branding
Located in the same building as StillWest Brewery & Grill in Jackson, Wyoming, Brewhouse Coffee is a small coffee shop that is open mornings and serves coffee, organic tea, and small baked goods.
StillWest Brewery & Grill Branding
StillWest Brewery & Grill opened in Jackson, Wyoming in 2018 in a brand-new custom-built building directly across the street from the in-town ski hill Snow King. They brew 10 beers in their building and StillWest’s brewhouse is visible through a glass wall, right behind the bar. Their covered patio has one of the prettiest views […]
Dos Luces Brewery Branding
Dos Luces Brewery applies a modern craft brewing process to Pre-Columbian fermented beverages. They’re also one of the only breweries in the country who brew Chicha (an Incan beverage) and Pulque (made by the Aztecs, Maya, and others). Owners Judd Belstock & Sam Alcaine wanted to pay homage to the vibrant artistic traditions of Central […]
Atom Brewing Company Branding
When we worked with Atom Brewing Company’s originally, their brand was intended to be inspired by retro 1950s Space-age comic-book culture. Before they opened, however, owners Jeff & Chris Porn shifted their business model to focus on wood-aged farmhouse beers, sour beers & in general taking a more old-world approach to brewing. We took their […]
Makers After Dark Branding
Fermentable Sugar was hired by the NoCo Mini Maker Faire to run a one-of-a-kind event: a distillers festival but with robots & fire. Kicking off the 2015 Maker Faire in Loveland, Colorado, we organized a successful festival that featured 15 Colorado distilleries and numerous makers. We had fire poofers who launched flames 25 feet in […]
