October 21, 20168 yr Elevator Brewing rebrands with photography BY RICK ARMON, THE BEER BLOG Published: October 19, 2016 Dick Stevens always tries to wear some article of clothing that bears the Elevator Brewing Co. brand when he’s out and about. Whether it’s a hat. Or shirt. Or whatever. The Elevator founder figures it’s a little way to spread some awareness about the Columbus brewery. What he's found is that many people have never heard of Elevator, a brewery that has won two bronze medals at the Great American Beer Festival. “When we’ve been around for 17 years and nobody has heard of us, that’s a problem,” Stevens said. To try to fix that, Elevator is rebranding, following the suit of Great Lakes Brewing Co. in Cleveland, Maumee Bay Brewing Co. in Toledo and Columbus Brewing Co. in Columbus, which also have redesigned their logos and packaging in recent years. Despite its longevity, Elevator believes it has gotten lost among all the new breweries that have popped open in Ohio during the recent craft beer craze. Craft beer drinkers seem to want new, new new and the media spotlight often shines brightest on the state's new brands. Rebranding is a way to recapture some attention. ... Elevator, which operates both a production brewery and restaurant in downtown Columbus, opted to go with photography because it’s uncommon among breweries and will help distinguish the brand on store shelves, Stevens said.
