Workwear for breweries and taprooms

That means two kinds of kit under one name: tough, wet-ready workwear in the brewhouse and merch-style clothing behind the bar. Both should carry the same logo so the beer and the people match.

On the brewhouse floor

Floors are always wet. Safety wellingtons with toe protection and a good grip are standard, and a waterproof apron protects from hot wort and cleaning splashes. Some cleaning chemicals need specific gloves and eye protection, so check the product safety data and your risk assessment.

Kegs are heavy and casks are heavier. Toe protection matters, and trousers need to stand up to kneeling on wet concrete.

• Safety wellingtons for wet floors
• Waterproof aprons for CIP and hot liquid
• Gloves and eye protection for chemical handling
• Tough work trousers or bib and brace

Behind the taproom bar

Taproom staff wear the brand as much as they pour it. Printed tees and hoodies with your beer artwork look like merch because they are. A waist apron with a bottle opener loop holds the essentials.

Many breweries sell the same tees and hoodies to customers. Ordering staff and merch together keeps the design consistent. Add a STAFF print on the back so customers can tell who serves.

Deliveries and beer festivals

Drivers dropping casks to pubs work in all weathers and are on public view at every delivery. A branded softshell or work jacket keeps them warm and identifies them to cellar staff. At beer festivals, matching crew tees make your stand look professional and help punters remember the name. Safety boots matter on cellar drops, where kegs go down steps and through hatches.

Where to put your logo

Brewery logos are often detailed illustrations, which suit printing on tees and hoodies. Go big on the back and keep a small mark on the front. In the brewhouse, embroider a simple version of the logo on coveralls and work jackets, where stitching outlasts print against chemicals and pressure washing. Kingston Branding proofs every design so the detail in your artwork holds up.

Ordering for breweries and taprooms

Most breweries and taprooms start with safety boots and wellingtons, aprons and safety gloves. You can order from one garment and add more as you take people on. The logo price drops at 9 and again at 25 garments, and every garment with a small logo counts towards it, so mixing styles and colours still gets the better price. Before anything is made, we embroider an actual sample of your logo and email you a photo to approve, or you can pop in to our Hull workshop to see it.
