We have a special place in our hearts for Coast Brewing Company. They’ve worked so hard and done so much to advance the local beer culture all the while making delicious, high quality beer. They also happen to be some of the most hardworking, genuine folks you’ll meet.
We recently designed merchandise to promote their latest project, the Coast Brewery Expansion. Read all about it here. There are only 30 days left to help fund the expansion of their entire brewing system so get on it!
This excerpt from the funding page really hits home for us so we thought we’d share:
When we first had the notion to open our own brewery in 2003, we said we would only do it if we could do it our way. We even had to change some laws to make it worth it (6% alcohol cap, no tastings or sales at brewery etc., see southcarolinabeer.org) Some of those tenets were (and still are) that the environment comes first! Followed closely by social and moral obligations. To all people involved, from manufacturers and consumers to our employees.
To be blunt, this means no Chinese equipment. For both human rights and quality issues, we made this choice early on. Really easy decision except when it comes to price. Non-Chinese sourced or manufactured equipment is easily double the amount (and when your talking doubling 100’s of 1,000’s of $$$’s, not gonna lie, it stings). However, we’ve made the decision and we’re sticking to it. We want the brewery to be an extension of our life. Therefore, organic grains are just as important.
Sustainability in every sense of the word is our main goal. We want to continue to be stewards in our community, both as a business model as well as fostering organizations and events that align with those ideals. Simply put we strive to be conscious and present in our lives and business.
Here are a handful of things we made that you can get when you give:

We were happy to see Zenefits featured in TechCrunch yesterday, a project we’ve been working on with friend Parker Conrad. We worked with Parker on SigFig and jumped at the chance to design and build the Zenefits site. Great concept, great leadership. Kudos to Y Combinator for spotting and serving smart talent. We look forward to Parker’s next start-up. And then his next one. And then the one after that.

In case these aren’t enough, we’ve got more devices designed and waiting in the wings.
The original design for the chosen ones:
Just in case you are the last person on Earth to hear, according to the Mayan calendar the apocalypse is upon us, tomorrow. What better way to prepare for the world’s end than to design and make our own set of weapons?

A Fuzzco Project. Thank you to Peyton Avrett and Michael Moran for handily crafting these tools for us.
A big thanks to Helen’s dad for making the boxes ( he salvaged some of the wood from a set of drawers he found in a trash pile) and to Jason Lefton for the etching. We’re excited to see these in use at a gym near you.

We’ll be moving one block south in 2013. For over a year the hunt has been on for a new building, and we’ve looked at some really stately, historic buildings and gnarly dives along the way. We wanted something that we could play with that had a lot of space to play in so the move from our current 1,200 square foot shoebox to more than 7,000 square feet is a step in the right direction. We’ve been working closely with David Thompson Architects on the design of the new space and plan to start construction in the next couple of months.The photos above show the building in its current shape: a metal warehouse with a solid steel frame. We love the unassuming metal facade and how it sits privately behind the long stucco wall on Cannon Street. Hanging over the building is an enormous sycamore tree that we plan to save from the encroaching vines. It’s going to be a lot of work that we couldn’t be more excited about.

We truly enjoyed working with Dotted Line Communications on their new website and laughed when we read their review of working with us:
On day one, co-founder Josh Nissenboim made it abundantly clear that the site needed to be first priority. Okay, maybe not FIRST every single day, but damn near the top. He and our project manager, Caleb, gave us STRICT deadlines, and were clear that they were not to be missed. As Brian said “Caleb’s great, but he’ll ride your ass.” And, he did. And, we love him and the Fuzzco team for it. Fuzzco took the decision-making out of our hands (YES! This is EXACTLY what I needed! We don’t know enough about web fonts to be driving the font selection process!). They were abundantly creative, uber-timely, and kept a fair degree of humor alive when I tried to slip into my neurotic tendencies.
We love our new baby and we have Fuzzco to thank.
