Walker Brothers— A Family culture kombucha

Walker Brothers approached us in 2018 to create their brand identity and packaging design. They brew traditional and high gravity (alcoholic) kombucha in Nashville, USA. For them, brewing kombucha is a family affair because they inherited the company's first SCOBY (the live culture used to make kombucha) from their aunt. This tradition inspired the slogan — 'A family culture'.
