Founded in 2015, the Stout team combines industry experience with brand strategy and design to build brands that stand the test of time.
We focus on beer because we know beer. It’s how many of us came up, at breweries and distributors, bars, restaurants, print shops and more. We put that experience to work for breweries of all sizes, from startups to nationally distributed legacy brands.
Over the years we’ve found that our skill in identity building applies beautifully to adjacent creative, high volume industries such as hospitality, spirits, wine and more. If you’re interested in the work we do outside the beer realm, find more here.

The full force of the Stout team behind your brand. We become your in-house design and strategy team, a partnership that can last months or years.
The goal is to help move your brand onwards and upwards, with our best minds on the future to grow your brand with a capital “B.” We also deploy Stout’s team of creatives to tackle the entire scope of your design needs.
A custom creative strategy workshop, this fun size version of Stout’s creative process is designed to dream up big ideas, push through problems or identify opportunities.
It’s a great way to see how Stout works for your brand, with all our insight, strategy and experience focused on the topic of your choosing.
We believe in a diverse and inclusive industry and actively support initiatives that elevate people previously left out of beer. We do not tolerate any level of harassment, discrimination, or harmful language within our own business or those with whom we partner.
