Carlsberg A/S is the forth biggest brewery worldwide. Founded in 1847 this brewery also has a rich heritage of culture and innovation. in 1883 it was the Carlsberg Research Laboratory that "revolutionized quality beer with its ground-breaking discovery of pure yeast, which made it possible to make quality beer from every brew". The logo is in use since 1904, when it was designed by danish architect and artist Thorvald Bindesbøll and probably will not be changed anytime soon.

In 1854 Thomas Aitken developed the recipe for the famous Australian beer Victoria Bitter. „The beer began to gain wide popularity in the mid 1960s with an innovative television advertising campaign featuring a very similar recording of the theme from the film The Magnificent Seven, images of working-class Australians at work and play.“ Over the years the design has been reduced to the basics of the brand as it does not need much explanation anymore, being one of the best selling Australian beers!

Another brewery that comes with a long history. Stella Artois roots back to 1366. It is no surprise that it has a well established name. Proud of its heritage, the logo design has a royal touch to it.

This fun looking beer actually has roots back to 1686. We wouldn't have imagined that given its fruity and colorful design. The lettering makes a very interesting contrast to the rest of the design and it works really well!

Founded in 1895, this brewery is best known for its original Budweiser or Budweiser Budvar pale lager. The name refers to the Czech city the brewery is located in: České Budějovice (German: Budweis). This quote sums up the character of the brewery quite well: “Budweiser Budvar is a great beer because it has great raw materials and great brewers. They produce it in a slow and painstaking way. Its integrity is best served by its being produced in its town of origin, in a region with pride in its beer”.

1842 the first Pils was brewed. Named after the city it was brewed in, not much has changed over the years - except the beer becoming world famous and serving as a foundation for almost all known other lager beers. Without much ado, the design of the logo is communicating the original and traditional character of the beer. The nostalgic lettering serves as a beautiful reference to its history.

Founded in 1819 in Helsinki by Russian merchant Nikolai Sinebrychoff, the Sinebrychoff brewery is the oldest brewery still operating in the Nordic countries. Over the decades the brands design underwent many changes. Today the very modern, classy and minimalistic logo shows two horse heads with a crown above them. But we absolutely love the old image on the left depicting the old factory. Look at that lettering! It's simply amazing!

A very classic french beer, that is actually brewed in Flanders. Its very minimalistic and clear design fits well to the appearance of the brand. Unlike German oder other beer, it is served in a glass looking a lot like a wine glass. Drinking beer in France has to be done in style!

Founded in 1328, Augustiner-Bräu is the oldest brewery in Munich. If you have ever been around the area of Munich, you very probably have enjoyed its famous beer Augustiner, Lagerbier Hell. Fond of its heritage and history, the design is very much about that. The initials J.W. stand for Joseph Wagner, who after the death of his father took care of the family business in 1858. He helped it expand and flourish, therefore his initials remain present on the brands logo.

This brewery goes back a looong time. 1464 was the earliest mentioning of the brewery. In the 18th century it also found its name: A rabbit found its way into the brewing house and the host was eager to catch him. Chasing the rabbit, he made a fool of himself as he fell on his nose and the rabbit escaped. Ever since the name Hasen-Preu was established. Proud and eager to keep the heritage alive, Hasen Bräu uses the rabbit in its logos. It comes in different variations, just like the different beer styles, Hasen Bräu is

Another internationally famous brewery brand is Beck’s, located in Bremen, Germany. You probably recognize its green beer bottles. The key in the Beck’s logo is a reverse image of the key in Bremen’s coat of arms. It is placed in the upper part of the logo in order to glorify the brand identity, which has been a synonym of quality and beer expertise for more than 100 years.

Bavaria is known for its great beer breweries all around the world. One of these is the Bayreuther Brewery. Its beers are all crafted in the name of the Bavarian Rheinheitsgebot allowing only four main ingredients. Proud of Bavarian tradition and heritage, Bayreuther has a crown in their logo. The white and blue design definitely sticks out between other brands and makes a perfect contrast to the rather traditional part of the brewery.

Rothaus has a charming character. Its famous Tannenzäpfle is a perfect example. We love the colorful and playful design that is unlike many other German breweries. It is served since 1956 and has been enjoyed ever since.

Situated in Munich, the Paulaner brewery dates back to 1634. The mendicant order and the brewery are named after Francis of Paola (founder of the order). It is one of the few beers served at the famous Oktoberfest plus Paulaner "ranks number six at Germany's best selling beers". We really like how the brand's history is made look so modern and stylish in the logo design.

Most known for its Erdinger Weißbier, this brewery claims to be the biggest wheat beer brewery worldwide. It is only produced in Erding, Bavaria and is being exported to over 100 countries worldwide.

Löwenbräu is one of the world’s oldest and most iconic breweries. Founded in 1383, this brewery has an incredible amount of experience and heritage. The majestic lion in their logo, that also refers to its name, alongside the colors blue and gold (royal colors) make it clear that Löwenbräu is one of the top players among breweries worldwide.

Everybody knows and probably has tasted a Guinnes beer before! Founded by Arthur Guinnes in 1752 this brewery has come a long way. In 1862 the Guinnes trademark label is introduced. Three essential parts are included in it: Arthur's signature, the famous harp and the company's name. These three items remain present until today.

When we think about Ireland we do not get around thinking about its myths. This country is known for its magical creatures and fantastical sceneries. No wonder that Murphy's has its own mystical heritage: The brewery is situated nearby a well (named Lady's Well) that is dedicated to Mother Earth and is said to have certain healing powers. Based on this story Murphy's is also known as the Lady's Well Brewery.

In 1877 the brewery was founded by Angelo Poretti, hence the name of the brand. Even though the lettering of the logo has always been rather thin and elegant (look at these beautiful Art-Nouveau-inspired vintage ads!), we do really like the current design. It has a rather timeless look, that still reminds of the older versions.

Birra Moretti was founded by Luigi Moretti in 1859. Since 1996 it belongs to Heineken. Nevertheless the history is ever present on the logo. We really like the design because you directly know what to expect: A decent beer giving you a taste of Italian heritage and tradition. It also comes in a huge bottle!

How fancy you can make a beer look? Peroni sure knows how to! This classy Italian brewery has a big passion for sailing. This is interesting because all its former advertisement was based upon the nautical theme. The premium Nastro Azzurro beer represents this in its design: “...the ribbon on the sailor hat was representative of the one featured on the neck of the bottle, becoming a hugely recognisable symbol for the brand”.

Since 1846 Italian brewery Menabrea is serving the world its classy beer. The traditional brewery has a beautiful logo design. We just love the fine details of the illustrations around the stunning lettering. Menabrea serves as a great exmaple for timeless taste (in design and beer, of course!).

It is countries like Japan that implement culture and beliefs in the most beautiful ways into their products. "The KIRIN is a mythical creature, a messenger of good luck. A gentle creature, flies the skies; its feet never touching the ground as not to harm any insects or plants. Also known as a symbol of a peaceful world, it is said to bring days full of peace and tranquility." Seriously, we are in love! KIRIN ICHIBAN continues to spread joy with its beer and design.

Another famous brewery from the Netherlands that carries a lot of history: Amstel. Its red, white and golden colors give it a very classic and majestic look - it is definitely a must to have an Amstel when in Amsterdam!

Excellence in brewing since 1615. It is fascinating how many breweries are brewing beer for so many centuries! No wonder most of them keep their logos the same or better said: are very careful with making significant changes! Grolsch kept its lettering and the green color and we don't see that changing! Thanks to the green color Grolsch beer is easy to spot and of course: easy and delicious to enjoy!

The iconic green beer bottle and its red star is known all around the globe. It’s the second largest brewing company worldwide. Today the company has its production facilities in over 70 countries worldwide and produces 250 various beverages under its sub-brands. The famous logo was first designed in the 1860s, but unfortunately the original logo wasn’t saved over the years but it is known that the 1884 version was based on the one from the 1860s. Changes were made over the years and the logo became more bold in its colors and letters, but the essential parts remained the same!

Corona - the crown beer. Despite what is going on this year, Corona Extra remains one of the top-selling beers worldwide. The iconic hand painted bottle, golden color and the famous logo-font make you want to drink one yourself right now!

Sol - named after the sun, this logo does well by capturing its lively energy and the Mexican spirit. We like how the emphasis is on the strong lettering whereas the sun serves as a supporting element. The logo differs from the rest of the common beer brands and has a rather unique design.

TIGER BEER
Singapore

Launched in 1932 in Singapore, this beer certainly differs from what the rest of the other breweries look like and we love it. Its font has not been changed since and the tiger in the logo fits perfectly to it. This logo looks and feels exotic. It calls for summer, the beach and exploring new cultures.

Founded in 1878, the lager beer brewed in Barcelona, Spain, is much lighter than central European beer. It is known as Mediterranean lager. The Estrella logo does well in capturing the Mediterranean atmosphere. The red and gold colors, along with the star above the bold font make a strong appearance, call for a fresh summer experience.

The Singha brewery is proud of its country’s tradition, thus the lion in the logo was inspired by one of the four great lions in Thai literature, which Thai folk believes to be the king of Himmapan Forest. The font is matching the traditional drawing of the lion with its curves and golden color. Singha is the must-have beer when in Thailand!

This American brewery was founded in 1855 by Frederick Miller after he emigrated from Hohenzollern, Germany. One of the key motifs of this brand is the Girl On The Moon. Although there is no record of how the famous illustration was created, she was first trademarked by Miller in 1907 and has since become one of the most mysterious and beloved brand icons in America. Miller High Life combines both: a classy look and a dreamy, high-life feeling!

Launched in 2010 "Fullsteam brews distinctly Southern beer that fosters agricultural pride and prosperity in a post-tobacco South. By buying local to brew local, we aim to improve the quality of life of local farmers, foragers, and agricultural entrepreneurs." Not only does this brewery have a very humble and social approach to brewing beer, also they have fantastic branding! We cannot decide which design we like the most!

This is one of our favorite beer designs! Everything is so well put together - we are in love! Also, the brewery is family-run and "CKBC seeks to create what America seems to have lost: a local neighborhood bar in which we strive to know your name and your story. Sit down, relax, and enjoy a beer with new and old friends." That's the way to go!

This rather young brewery (compared to the old gems above) chose a wonderful design. Brouwers comes in a bottle or can - each a pleasure to look at and drink!

Gold-Winner Design, World Beer Awards 2019 - what more to say. Lowlander has some of the most beautiful designed bottles and while the bottle that won the category is rather minimalistic in its colors, the other beers surprise us in bright colors mixed with wonderful illustrations.

The brewery was founded by musician Kasper Peterson, who "looked for an official outlet for his experimental home brewing. As a member and composer of the band Door Mekaar, he fell in love with the Belgian style beers while touring south of the Dutch border. Since similar beers were not yet brewed in Amsterdam, Kasper decided to produce them himself." That was in 1985. Today, Brouwerij't IJ is one of the biggest and best known breweries of Amsterdam and offers a range of pretty cool beer! (We think the logo is amazing!)

This beer aims to merge two very different beer styles and German cities: Kölsch and Alt (Cologne and Düsseldorf). Although so close to each other, they often remain in a dispute about who is better. Hans and Matthias, two friends who met during their studies in Düsseldorf, took this issue to heart and came up with the perfect solution: költ. Since 2018 their beer is served and can finally reunite people. And of course their beautiful design is hard to miss or get mad about! It is simply perfect - well done!

Named after Carlsberg's founder, J.C. Jacobsen, it is housed in the original Carlsberg brewery in Valby in Copenhagen. Jacobsen beer is the response to the "growing market segment sparked by the microbrewery movement" and we must say it turned our pretty well! The design is simply beautiful in all its variations! Have you tried it yet?

BRECKENRIDGE BREWERY
Breckenrige, Colorado

Breckenbridge Brewery opened its doors in 1990 making it the "third-oldest craft brewery in the state." Since then the company has been growing and receiving increasing amount of interest. Its design is colorful just like the flavors of its beers.

This nicely designed beer by White Rabbit Brewery is made in Victoria, Australia and it reminds us of fairytales and enchanted forests. Each beer tells you a story - are you ready for a taste?

This American brewery implements its country's history in all of its products and its name, too. “Huddled together over a beer, our forefathers met in pubs across 13 colonies in order to design a revolution that pitted them against overwhelming odds.” Their bottles illustrate different themes fitting to their taste. 13 Stripes uses beautiful design to remember our history and have more fun enjoying their beers.

Arguably one of the coolest and most hip breweries that exists! Brooklyn Brewery does not only come in an amazing and funky design, its whole history is exciting and worth looking up!

“To live, right now, in a world of enterprising, fulfilling hedonism” - these are the motifs behind the Modern Times brewery. The lettering in the logo represents this quite well. Paired with some rather minimalistic shapes the design is elegant and yet playful. We like it a lot!

This french brewery combines both: beautiful design and taste. It is Country-Winner in the category of Dark Beer in the World Beer Awards 2018. A great accomplishment and motivation to keep going as the Brasserie was only founded in 2015!

The Ondergronds Beer is the Gold-Winner in the category of Dark Beer. Kompel has done a great job adapting the design to the taste of this beer. On its website you find the following explanation: ‘Ondergronds’ (underground) immediately evokes the image of a coal miner with a layer of dust on his face, working hard in the extensive underground passageways. The roasted malt largely determines the colour, aroma, and flavour of this beer”.

What a beautiful design! No wonder it was voted Bronze in Design in the World Beer Awards 2019. It comes in three different styles and we are eager to try one of these!
