Best Day Brewing Partners with The Conservation Alliance to Re-Launch Limited-Edition Pilsner

March 26, 2025 by Spencer Mapes

Best Day Brewing Nature’s Pils is a meticulously crafted Pilsner made with Bavarian lager yeast and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops. The combination presents a clean woody and crisp citrus beer with a trailing maltiness and distinct hop character. The packaging features a pattern of North American flora and fauna.

The re-launch of Nature’s Pils marks Best Day Brewing’s second collaboration with The Conservation Alliance. This initiative underscores Best Day Brewing’s continued commitment to environmental stewardship, with a portion of net proceeds from Nature’s Pils donated to The Conservation Alliance’s efforts to protect North America’s invaluable wild places and outdoor spaces.

The fan-favorite brew returns with the same great taste and packaging, but with an even bigger mission. Building on the success of the beer and partnership, Nature’s Pils marks the beginning of Best Day’s new 2025 seasonal program, where every limited-edition release will support a 1% for the Planet organization. A portion of net proceeds from each seasonal beer will be donated to its designated non-profit, making every sip a meaningful contribution to protecting our planet.

Nature’s Pils is available on BestDayBrewing.com and in retailers nationwide for a limited time from now through the spring.

“After an incredible first year partnering with The Conservation Alliance, we’re excited to bring Nature’s Pils back in support of their mission to protect wild spaces,” said Tate Huffard, CEO & Founder of Best Day Brewing. “This beer is a celebration of the great outdoors, and with every sip, we’re helping to preserve the places we love to explore.”

“The Conservation Alliance is delighted to partner with Best Day Brewing again this year on the delicious Nature’s Pils,” said Paul Hendricks, Executive Director of The Conservation Alliance. “This product collaboration is a true testament to their commitment to environmental stewardship. Proceeds from the beer, as well as their annual financial contribution as a TCA member, support land and water protections that bolster businesses, outdoor recreationalists, and communities across North America.”

Best Day Brewing is on a mission to create the world’s best tasting non-alcoholic beer through sourcing premium ingredients and a proprietary brewing process. Their beer is first brewed to full strength with the alcohol removed through a process that maintains temperatures no higher than the fermentation temperature and thereby preserves the aromas and flavors of great tasting beer.

Nature’s Pils joins Best Day’s current line-up including Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, Kölsch, and Electro-lime Cerca de Cerveza. Further releases are planned for 2025.

Best Day Brewing Expansion and New Brand Build Out

February 6, 2023 by Spencer Mapes

SAN DIEGO, California – Mindful drinking, non-alcoholic beer and other alcohol-free leisure beverages are gaining major traction across multiple consumer segments. Best Day Brewing is looking to expand its foothold in the market and broaden consumer awareness thanks to a comprehensive brand build out from Gestalt Brand Lab.

“The ritual of cracking a great beer is one associated with relaxation, enjoyment and unwinding. Consumers are looking for ways to savour that experience and embrace the moments of awe in every day life with a clear head and no hangover,” said Best Day Brewing Founder and CEO Tate Huffard. “We have built a reputation for quality, authentic craft beer taste that allows you to enjoy more, not less while drinking — This marketing and communications plan pushes that message out to a wider audience,” he added.

Best Day has been on an massive expansive track over the past year and recently signed a multi-year relationship with Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTH), the nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brand, including serving as the official sponsor of Life Time Pickleball and select events within the company’s portfolio and rolling out to select LifeCafes located inside Life Time’s health clubs and outdoor beach clubs nationwide.

Best Day Brewing selected Gestalt Brand Lab as its Agency of Record in the spring of 2022 with the goal of taking their existing product footprint and elevating it to a larger stage. Working with an established logo and two existing products (Kölsch and West Coast IPA), Gestalt Brand Lab was tasked with developing a defined brand framework for the company, creating an overall brand aesthetic and marketing campaign, redesigning the website and implementing the brand across all consumer and customer touchpoints, including point-of-sale materials, marketing and sales content, advertising, packaging designs, event collateral and more.

Key to the brand framework was incorporating Best Day’s existing core values and communicating them in a meaningful, holistic way. “Best Day is brewed for doers, surfers, climbers, early-risers, free divers, chefs, gardeners, dancers, oyster farmers, dreamers, painters, builders and more, and the integrated messaging needed to communicate that the product is a delicious and full-flavor craft beer for those looking for a mindful drinking experience — a low-calorie, hydrating, non-alcoholic option at that. Best Day drinkers are those looking to live each day to the fullest, celebrating the beauty in life’s every day moments and experiences without dulling them with a buzz,” said Gestalt Brand Lab Managing Director Brian Munce.

The resulting brand framework tied all of these key elements together and Gestalt built a communications platform that centers around the idea of “Best Day Yet” — The genuine craft beer experience that lets you feel the awe of everyday life, finding beauty in even the simplest elements.

“Consumers want to be fully present and enjoy a taste experience they love in more parts of their life while retaining a clear head and full functionality – Everything from sharing some giggles and fun with your kids to simply getting some Vitamin D as you tackle yard work. Our brand work for Best Day is aligned to communicate the feeling of drinking Best Day beer and having an amazing day,” Munce added.

Gestalt focused on an illustrated graphic poster design style filled with iconic commissioned imagery from noted French artist Quentin Monge that visually communicates the feeling and emotions that go with the experiences associated with a Best Day beverage. Simple slogans and themes call out occasions and moments such as “Make Dawn Patrol” with an image of surfers checking the waves — Customers can envision themselves in quirky and carefree moments, unrestricted and unmuted by alcohol.

“Our entire creative and brand vision speaks to those who desire to be present in every moment, enjoying a beverage they love in more parts of life with a selection that promotes a thoughtful and engaged lifestyle,” said Gestalt Brand Lab Creative Director Chad Farmer.

“The combination of visuals, clean illustrations and a color palette evocative of the natural beauty of Northern California transports customers to a place of calm and enjoyment that elicits a unique emotional response,” added Farmer. “Monge’s illustrations capture the essence of the sun, encouraging viewers to stop and enjoy small pleasures, serving as a perfect fit for Best Day’s brand platform”, according to Farmer.

In addition to brand elements outlined above, Gestalt has also developed a wide variety of photo and video assets for Best Day, social media content for all platforms, vehicle and bike wraps, email templates, seasonal product packaging designs and more. The agency plans to continue pushing the Best Day work with new product rollouts, custom events and experiences, new advertising and more.
