Since I feel like Thursday is the hardest day of the week to go to work, I would love to buy you all a round.And since that really isn’t feasible, I thought I would bring you a round of well designed brewery websites for some design inspiration.
Brooklyn Brewery
This site is just like walking into my favorite pub, dark and green. The logo is even in the form of a neon sign. Well done.
Bridgeport Brewing Co.

This site is gritty and collage-y with out being over-done or un-done. The animation flows seamlessly and the look is cohesive from top to bottom.
Bard’s Beer

Here the look is completely different from the first two. Light and bright the site showcases the beer in the middle. The beer bottles act as navigation (some would call this mystery meat navigation, but the navigation is duplicated on the right of the screen so you can easily navigate if you don’t catch on to the bottles).
MacTarnahan’s

Lovely, vintage-y and my second favorite color, green! The site has a retro feel and is just grungy enough to satisfy my need for web trends.
Mother Earth Brewing

If life were as easy as peace love & beer, the world would definitely be a better place. The site has a wonderfully clean layout, but the textured background and wheat make it feel natural, which is what I assume they were going for.
Hopefully the sites were inspirational. I know in researching this article, beers I know to have great labels have surprisingly terrible websites. It took a lot of digging to find these gems, mainly because I was looking for ones that were not big name sites.
