For the event’s graphics, Kilian was asked to create an approachable, fun design that could appeal to a wide audience, be used in a variety of orientations and sizes, while also clearly tying itself to the city of Sacramento. The result was Hoppy, a mascot-style brewer marching through a field of California poppies with the iconic Capitol Building and Tower Bridge in the background, and a friendly sun waving above to top it off.
Poster Illustration for Wolves & Roses
When I knew I was officially going to the Into The Woods conference by Lincoln Design Co, I got so inspired that I had to make this poster for the event! Lincoln’s unofficial mascot is Bigfoot, so I decided to pit him against my Great Raven mascot to see who would win should they ever meet!
We printed some posters and handed them out at the event, and they got a lot of love. It was an amazing experience that left me creatively rejuvenated, and I can’t wait to see what they do next year!

Mattie Groves Brewery is a husband & wife team with a dream to open their own space in Sacramento, California. Their goal was to create a place where people can gather and folk can flourish, surrounded by great stories and better beer.

Tower Brewing has a rather unique origin story; one that has its roots in the foundation of Sacramento’s now booming brewing industry.
In the wake of Rubicon Brewing Company’s closure, the rights to their IP, including the recipe for the famous Monkey Knife Fight Pale Ale, were acquired by Sactown Union Brewery. Three years later, they came to us looking for a full rebrand to reflect new leadership, focus on heavily rotated taps for a diverse community, and a desire to increase their distribution. The name Sactown Union was too localized to try to sell their beer out of state, so the name Tower Brewing was chosen as their new identity. This paid homage to iconic Sacramento locations such as the Tower Bridge, Tower Theater, and Tower Records, while giving it a more versatile name with potential to grow.
We run the gamut with The Monk’s Cellar label designs from cartoony and fun to refined and elegant.

We created this poster for Gallery 1988’s Horror themed show in October of 2023. It’s a 4 color screen printed poster inspired by The Ritual film, and you can get a limited copy here!
The printed version ended up coming out a little more vibrant than the digital one’s darker mood, so I wanted to highlight both variants here.
Brand refresh, label template design, illustration, sell sheets.
We’ve been through a lot with Porchlight Brewing Co. over the years, but it’s a relationship akin to that of a barrel aged stout - it just gets better with age.

AN EYE FOR KNOWLEDGE LEAVES THE ALLFATHER WISE
In Norse Mythology, Odin, the Allfather, plucked out his eye to gain knowledge. His two ravens, Huginn & Muninn represent Thought and Memory, and they fly around the nine realms and tell him what they see. This design started with a simple sketch and blossomed into a beer label!
We created a brand identity and crowler label for Tap2 Taproom and their sister company, Tap Savvy.
