District Brew Yards

District Brew Yards is the first of its kind in the nation to house a production brewery collective, pour-your-own beer hall, and shop under one roof, right here in Chicago’s Brewing District. Past work includes facility signage, flyers, electronic media, to tap wall logos.

The Fourth Wall

A logo was created for the fourth tap wall in the brewery at District Brew Yards, designed to represent a collaborative space where the facility's full-time brewers and community homebrewers could team up to showcase their unique creations.

Inspired by the concept of "breaking the fourth wall," the logo incorporates a reflective element that invites customers to see the entire taproom mirrored in the center of the sign. This visually striking design effectively communicates the spirit of collaboration and innovation that defines the space. The result is a creative solution that brings the client’s vision to life with aesthetic appeal and meaningful storytelling.

Signage & Weekly Calendar

A weekly calendar format was designed for District Brew Yards, along with facility signage, to keep customers informed about on-site events and activities. Close collaboration with teams across the brewery, restaurant, and offices ensured that the calendar was updated weekly and accurately reflected the latest happenings.

The resulting calendar is displayed throughout the establishment, providing a clear and convenient way for patrons to stay connected with upcoming events and activities. This streamlined approach enhances the customer experience and supports the venue's dynamic atmosphere.

Sweatshirts

In collaboration with Burnt City, one of the breweries on-site, input was gathered from brewery staff and observations of customer interests. Multiple sweatshirt designs were created for the upcoming seasons, each reflecting a distinct art style.

Catering Trifold

At District Brew Yards, the kitchen offers mouthwatering BBQ to pair with their extensive selection of craft beers. To assist customers in planning their catering orders, a trifold brochure was designed to highlight all available options.

The design integrates the establishment’s signature aesthetic, incorporating elements like exposed brick walls, light wood tables, and references to the four on-site breweries. The result is a cohesive and visually appealing brochure that enhances the customer experience while showcasing the unique character of the venue.
