Branding, visual styling, and art direction for the interior and exterior of Pirate Life Brewing in Port Adelaide in South Australia. The brief was to create a craft beer brand that was bold, fun and approachable. The style is bold, friendly, and confident. The brand has a small footprint, using a lot of clever expressions, and a fairly limited colour palette. The identity is built around the character of the founder and the people behind the brand. Conceptual design for a brewery / brew pub / restaurant in Port Adelaide, South Australia. The client wanted a design that was modern, had a vibrant atmosphere and conveyed ideas of the sea. I designed the bar to be a focal point for the space and to be the main attraction with the restaurant dining at street level.

A passion for beer and the unmistakable ability to brew a cracking drop saw Co-founders Paul Thomas and Dave Bonighton take the leap from home brewing to the creation of their own commercial brewery.
