Hired Guns Creative designed the boldly illustrated packaging for Railyard Brewing, a new craft brewery that is inspired by street art.

“Action on the tracks. An inbound train with freight cars full of hops and grain. The crew comes alive. Their shadows too – blurred figures taking advantage of the layup, laying down spraypaint end to end. This is the place, the junction of art and harvest. This is Railyard Brewing.”

“For Railyard Brewing, a new craft brewery in Calgary, Alberta, we were tasked with coming up with a name and concept that expresses the team’s love of street art while maintaining strong local roots. We decided on the classic image of a spray-painted grain car, iconic in the world of graffiti, and historically significant to Albertans, especially for growers and brewers.
