“Our main concerns with creating a new look were to streamline the brand and boost sales by creating a more vibrant, eye-catching label to reflect the friendliness of our brewery and appeal to our international markets. Our latest listing with Cress Co will enhance our domestic trade audience.

“We are living in a time where the little things are becoming more important than ever before, which is why we believe the new additions including Hello Friday will appeal to investors, as well as new and existing customers.

“This is one of the first steps on our journey of continued growth. Our vision remains strongly focused on the expansion of WooHa and we are continuing to work on bringing high quality craft beers to our customers across the globe.”
