Bridge Road Brewers

Bridge Road Brewers founder Ben Kraus wanted to do something totally different for his first inner-city venue. Rather than simply transposing Bridge Road’s historic Beechworth brewery into Brunswick, he gave us carte blanche to set a new tone for the brand. 

We channelled the neighbourhood’s arty vibe, commissioning renowned street artist Drez to paint a technicolour mural across the venue, as well as the feature rainbow beer taps at the bar. Colour is boldly rendered throughout the space – the primary palette of orange and blue, exact opposites on the colour wheel, comes together with vivid impact.
