Burnside Brewery

  • Jonathan Charles

Burnside Brewery was my main project for this years work. The brief was completely self directed and I have created a total rebrand for the company. Redesigning their logo, beer bottle labels, photography style and an engaging and structured website design. Each beer and their recipe are unique with each label having its own quirky illustration that is inspired by the names and short descriptions.

Based in Aberdeenshire between the Cairngorm mountains and the North Sea, Burnside is an independent craft brewery. We know that nothing beats that first sip after exploring the wild Scottish countryside, so we’ve created a range of natural and refreshing beers that are the perfect #postadventurepint
Our products are Vegan friendly, and we source local ingredients where we can. As a small team of 4, we love to collaborate with other businesses and charities in the North East of Scotland to create our craft and classic ranges.
Burnside Brewery was established in 2010 as Laurencekirk’s local craft brewery. With the Mearns Hills to the west and rugged coastline to the east, we draw inspiration from the Scottish landscape when crafting our classic ales. Our logo pays homage to the surrounding countryside, signifying the natural, easy-drinking beers we create – each one: hand brewed, bottled and packaged onsite by our team of four. The fern is an age-old symbol of sincerity, and so we hope it will stand as a symbol of a good, honest beer to you.

Think local, drink Burnside.
