Sydney Brewery Announces Fresh Face For 2021 

Sydney Brewery Announces Fresh Face For 2021 

Sydney Brewery is partnering with branding specialists and fellow Sydneysiders Boldinc to reinvigorate their brand and give their packaging a fresh new look.   

Famed for its line of Sydney-themed beers and ciders, such as Paddo Pale, Darlo Dark, Surry Hills Pils and Sydney Cider, Boldinc is working with the Brewery team to best reflect Sydney Brewery’s DNA in their marketing identity and packaging.   

Sydney Brewery marketing manager Richard Feyn stated: “While we have had our roots in Surry Hills since 2004, it became a little complicated when we expanded our production facilities to larger premises in Lovedale in the Hunter Valley in 2014.  

“It did lead to something of an identity issue with the trade and even some of the public. We also broadened our range significantly, with cider becoming a very important component of the business, which was reflected in the awards success of our Sydney Cider and Agave Ginger Cider.  

“So we thought that as we enter 2021, and hopefully exit the challenges of 2020, we should look at how we can bring all the ingredients together in a major brand refresh. 

“Bold Inc have done a great job in identifying where we sit as a craft brewery, which also specialises in cider. While popular and clearly a signature for us, our strategy of naming beers after suburbs had become a bit limiting, plus our design had become a bit static after six years. 

“However, we certainly won’t forget that our roots lie in the melting pot that is contemporary Surry Hills, so our new look and positioning will embrace the idea that our team – just like our beers, ciders & loyal drinkers – are all kinds of different.” 

Bold Inc’s creative director Steve Smith adds  “As independent brewers, the second biggest asset these guys have (behind awesome beer) is the stories their beers can tell, and we’re proud to help them tell those stories through this redesign. 

“We really wanted to build a brand that captured the eclectic bunch of characters behind the brewery. The down to earth, the quirky, the artistic and the unexpected aspect that is at the heart of Surry Hills, but also sums up the team’s brewing philosophy. We’re pretty happy with the result!”  

Sydney Brewery’s fresh new look, with their core range of beers and ciders, is due to be released in January 2021. 

Richard Feyn said that the new-look range meant an early Christmas present for lovers of great brews.  

“Discerning drinkers will be the winners over the next few months as we look to shift our stockpile of current packaging to make room for the new look cans,” said Mr Feyn.
