Craft Beer

After-Work Brewing | Hobbies & Passions

It takes more than brand and design to create a distinct agency culture. Beer brewing is just one activity bringing our global team together in Salzburg.

There’s so much more brewing here than beer

Seated in the heart of the Austrian Alps, KISKA’s Salzburg headquarters is surrounded by more than mountains. We’re also steeped in Austria’s legendary beer culture (we even had a hand in designing the glasses for Salzburg’s 525-year old brewery Stiegl). So it makes sense that eventually some of us were going to get together and start crafting a KISKA brew.

“It’s classic KISKA: we used a hobby as a way to investigate why we work the way we do and think about what we learned from this project that we can take back to our clients.”

Open in floor plan and mind, our studio is a breeding ground for big ideas and passion projects. So, when Christian and Klaus (lead designer and design director respectively), had the idea to make an India Pale Ale afterhours it did not take long for beer nerds from across the studio to get involved.

Soon enough there was a multi-talented taskforce working on everything from beer brand research to label design. Complex but smooth, with a bold final product could explain both the IPA – and the project itself. KISKA’s partner team certainly enjoyed their first taste and there’s already plenty of interest in the next round of studio brewing.
