NEEDLE CREEK FARM BREWERY
A CRAFT BREWERY ROOTED IN THE LAND, WHERE FARM-TO-GLASS BREWING MEETS A BRAND THAT’S AS RICH AND INTENTIONAL AS THE BEER ITSELF.
The challenge was to create an identity that captured the natural beauty, craftsmanship, and authenticity behind Needle Creek—balancing rustic charm with a refined, contemporary edge.
From brand identity to packaging, we crafted a look and feel that reflects the brewery’s deep connection to its surroundings, creating an experience that’s as refreshing visually as it is in a glass.
