Rainier Beer

Setting up Rainier’s brand foundation for the next 100 years.

Rainier was enjoying a long run of go-to beer status in the northwest, but the brand itself was kind of stuck on autopilot. As the company evolved, they needed some help getting to the root of what Rainier beer is all about and then sharing it with the world.

Flying off the shelves

Rainier has undeniably great classic looks. We took their identity and gave it a little modern love which, we then carried through to a complete packaging system.

Rainier has always been associated with low-key fun in the great outdoors. We understand that vibe completely and we're uniquely qualified to bring it to life throughout every touchpoint. Campfires and cannonballs anyone?
