Fair State Website

Interactive | By Little

Delivery

The website has been a key vehicle to spread information about Fair State, as well as to sell memberships to individual brewery members. A responsive design keeps it usable (and beautiful) on any platform.

Concept

When it opens this summer, Fair State Brewing will be Minnesota’s first cooperative brewery. Our goal in their naming and identity was about hitting a tone that speaks to the age-old link between beer and community, where conversation flows along with perfectly crafted ales and lagers.

Fair State is about the relationship of community and its effect on the beer, and vise-versa. The “infinity pint” as we call it, speaks to that back-and-forth relationship. The never-ending infinite community that flows between brewer and patron, or in this case, brewer and owner.

Results

So far, the brewery has been a huge success. Over 250 memberships have been sold at the individual/family level, and the higher-end “patron” memberships have been sold out. Work is currently progressing on the taproom, and the website will be expanded to include additional merchandise and community outreach efforts.
