Anvil & Forge

Local craft. A brand with character.

The partnership

Crafted locally.
Connected everywhere.

Anvil & Forge broke into the central Illinois craft beer scene with a storm. The team bootstrapped the business from the ground up and built the brand with out much time spent on their website or design strategy.

We teamed up with A&F to provide creative direction and a number of different deliverables including branding, logo design, website development, photography and more.

Website

A digital home for local craft.

The website brings the brewery’s character into a connected experience, giving visitors a place to explore the beer, the taproom, and what’s happening next.

For this Springfield, Illinois brewery, the website sits alongside a wider brand and packaging system. Explore our Springfield website design services and logo and branding packages for a similar connected approach.

Brand & packaging

Character you can take home.

Branding and packaging carry the same distinctive personality from the taproom to the shelf, with expressive can designs built around the beers themselves.

Photography

The craft. The space.
The people behind it.
