5 Brewery Lighting Ideas to Make the Experience Great

From a cozy date at a brewery to a cold beverage shared with friends, beer is the ultimate fun for life. This makes beer photography an in-demand advertisement strategy for several purposes. Speaking of advertisements, who wouldn’t like to spot a picture-perfect frame with a glass of beer at its center, embedded with perfect lighting technology?

Given the importance of lighting in photography, there’s only one way how your brewery photos get enhanced behind the lens. Not just for camera enthusiasts, incredible brewery lighting also promotes a spell-bounding experience for beer beginners, enthusiasts, and connoisseurs.

But gone is the era when halogen lights used to be fundamental for brewers. With the introduction of the recent-generation LED luminaires, the concept of lighting in a brewery has gotten altered. In general, location, where perishable items get stored, has its lighting considerations. Add to it a subtle nature of brewing blends of barley and sensitive hops for beers, and brewery lighting just becomes overwhelming.

Whenever a brewery gets talked about, you cannot deny the prime importance of lighting. With that being the only motive of narrating this post, let’s dive deep into the five lighting ideas that promote an excellent beer experience.

1.  Include The Right Color Temperature with Color Led Panel

It is imperative to identify the color without getting affected by the light technology drastically. The best way to ensure that you get the standalone outcome in the sphere is by checking the color temperature of the lighting.

For this reason, selecting a warm temperature makes the brew look dark while a bluish-white light becomes lighter. Both the outcomes can mess up your brewing experience. This is why combat and choose a neutral color temperature (which leads to the white spectrum than yellow). So, what you can do is use color led panel that make your bar look attractive, sophisticated, and classy.

Adding the right color temperature to your brewery enhances your beer experience and lifts the spirit of the place. Whether it’s about enjoying a bottle of beer with your close pals or taking your fiancé to a beer night-out, things become far more illuminating and appealing with an ideal color temperature.

2.  Vintage Ambiance Coupled With Modern Lighting Technologies

With the reshaping technologies implemented in the beer universe, lighting has got a whole new meaning. The heavy demand for industrial lighting has opened doors of opportunities for vintage elements too.

The most authentic part of breweries is breathing new life in antique spaces such as factories and warehouses. For many beer connoisseurs, these spaces turn out to be home! In general, these spaces combine perfectly with vintage lighting. Exposed wood ceilings, brick, and vent systems complete brilliantly with any lighting that comprises an industrial or rustic vibe.

A brewery exposing reclaimed wood walls and timber beams can give a route to introduce an industrial and rustic vibe. It works excellently with pendant lighting fixtures too. The pendant lights reflect the venting system of the space, thereby giving room for more light in the room with big dark wood.

3.  Adding Pendant Lights

Breweries can often have exposed beams and ceilings. With that being the center of attraction, pendant lights become the only way to light the cracks to help it get a competitive edge. You can use them to hand more accurately atop the tables, bars, or even entries.

There are other kinds of overhead lighting, such as track lighting, that need a finished ceiling. In addition to this, some older warehouse-type areas can include pendants that offer sufficient light in a bigger room without giving away an alien-like glow of overhead designs.

You can include these pendants and let them hang through exposed beams over the bar. This will incredibly create ambient and moody lighting. For the very same lighting impact in your brewery space, you can hire professionals and consult them on this front. The designs are available in various options based on customer preference and demands.

4.  Make It Appealing With Glass Lamps

Did you know stained glass lamps are an ideal choice for traditional breweries? Yes, they are available in a wide range of styles and colors. You can choose the ones fitting the aesthetic goals or can add an array of them.

These lights deserve a special mention because they are a décor rather than mere lighting. However, they supplement the overhead work and lights in a dramatic beer bar.

Use them to make the top stand out, with lights illuminating from the top. You can include colorful up-lights too!

5.  Create A Moody Ambiance

There’s no denying that breweries (besides the other commercial spaces) benefit from moodier and darker lighting. Enjoying a bottle of beer in a taproom becomes immersive, while lighting transforms the entire experience!

It is recommendable to use warm bulbs in the pendants. Not only does it look better, but it also makes the beer stand out. While warm lights tend to be soporific, it becomes harder to focus on specified tasks. Thus, warm lighting is ideal.

Final Words

Photographers who have a knack for clicking beer photos already understand the significance of lights. And when it comes down to a soothing brewery experience, lighting plays a quintessential role in offering a gala experience out of a beer treat in a brewery. So, follow the ideas shared above to illuminate your brewery and provide your customers with an unparalleled beer experience!
