What We Did
We began with a deep-dive interview to understand the company’s core values, audience, and growth goals.
The discovery phase revealed that Jack Pine's identity was deeply rooted in the feature wall of their brewery, and used widely across the existing brand, which allowed us to build on that in order to extend the Jack Pine Brewery identity, while keeping the ethos of the already built brand.
The Results
Each beer design retained its own individuality through distinct colors and graphics while the overall design system reinforced Jack Pine’s strong brand identity.

Key design elements included a matte black can base, bold typography for the beer names, and individual color schemes and emblems for each product.
