Other Brother Beer Company

The newbie in the race, Other Brother Beer Co.’s simple block letter sign, caught the eyes of the voters. The large white words on the front-facing part of the building wrap around brick pillars. Evan Loewy, one of three principal partners in the business, worked with Derek McDonald at Golden West Sign Arts to come up with the idea. Collaboration is at the foundation of what they do, says partner Michael Nevares. “From the way we utilize the space as a community gathering place, to the synergistic, collaborative relationship that we enjoy with Ad Astra Bread Co., to the way that we interact with people who come into the space we are community-focused to the core,” he says. It’s a sign (zing!) they’re doing something right.
