The arch legacy

Nestled within Gotland’s cultural heritage, behind the medieval walls of Visby, lies Gotlands Bryggeri. Its closest neighbour is Drotten, an 800-year-old church ruin. Both the label design and the brewery’s logo draw inspiration from the ruin’s iconic arches, reflecting the timeless beauty of the surroundings.

Crafting heritage, one brew at a time

Through a re-interpretation of the visual identity and an updated packaging design, we reinforced Gotlands Bryggeri’s position as a high-quality craft beer. A premium beer crafted for true enjoyment, from a brewery deeply connected to its Gotland origins.

A design that reflects the ambition

Always expertly brewed – from the first to the last pour – with roots deeply anchored in Gotland’s cultural heritage.

A hand-drawn touch

Natural and earthy, with deep tones and strong personality. Siri Carlén’s illustrations give each beer its own distinctive identity.

Gotlands for every ocasion

The design system is built to accommodate a wide and evolving portfolio – from classic brews to playful one-offs. With consistent elements and room for individual expression, the identity supports a diverse range of beers while maintaining a clear link to the Gotlands Bryggeri.

Bold by nature

Bulldog is the collective name for a series of modern, flavourful craft ales. Generously hopped and full of personality, these beers strike a balance between bold attitude and playful expression – something clearly reflected in the design.

The Bulldog spirit

Bulldog has become a favourite among Swedish craft beer lovers. The first ale in the series, Sleepy Bulldog Pale Ale, was in fact inspired by a real English bulldog – the brewery’s unofficial mascot, Krut. Described at the time as “now peacefully asleep,” Krut lives on through the beer that bears his name. A calm character with a bold heart – just like the ale itself.
