Background
2020, in all its spectacular ugliness, brought with it a slew of shutdowns and economic slowdowns across the country that are now a part of history.
Taprooms across Missouri closed much like they did across the country, and when they reopened it was at a much more limited capacity to reduce the spread. This obviously created cashflow issues for breweries who were already operating with super slim margins.
To-Go sales could only carry breweries so far. The breweries needed additional incentives to bring customers back, and the Brewers Guild needed additional cashflow to stay afloat and fund future activities.

In the summer of 2020, the MCBG approached Full Pour Media to design and launch a statewide membership program tailored to Missouri craft beer enthusiasts. The task was to create a compelling brand identity for this program and to generate all the necessary digital and print assets to bring "The MOBeer Club" to life.
RESEARCH
Full Pour Media conducted thorough research into existing statewide beer guild programs across the United States like IMBIBE in Illinois, Iowa Brew Army in Iowa, and the Brew Crew in Montana.
This research provided valuable insights into successful membership programs and informed the development of Missouri’s own membership program.

The successful launch of "The MOBeer Club" demonstrates how creative branding and asset development can revitalize and support an industry facing economic uncertainty.
