A long established, Cumbrian brewery, Tirril Brewery had a website but as the business evolved it was more and more apparent that the website no longer reflected their identity as a business.

Chris and his team are well known by Tirril Brewery stockists; Chris is very much the face behind the brand so the website had to work with his requirements and also get the seal of approval of his team.

Using a timeline, we continued to make this a visual process for beer enthusiasts and historians alike to enjoy the tales behind Tirril Brewery.
