Brand Tone

Approachable, Friendly, Humorous, Playful, Authentic, Passionate, Community-Oriented, Adventurous, and Nature-Loving

Brand Values

• •Quality: A commitment to high-quality ingredients (like fresh mountain water and cane sugar) and brewing processes for both beer and soda.
• •Community: Deeply rooted in Canmore, supporting local initiatives, employing locals, and being a destination for both residents and tourists. They aim to "share the Rocky Mountain experience."
• •Authenticity/Heritage: Proud of their history as one of Alberta's pioneering craft breweries, established in 1996. They emphasize their "tried-and-true local brand."
• •Innovation: While respecting tradition, they have expanded their product lines (e.g., sodas in 2006, exploring spirits, new beer styles) and facilities over the years.
• •Customer Experience: Focused on providing a welcoming atmosphere and a range of products to appeal to a diverse audience, including families (with their craft sodas).
• •Sustainability/Environmental Consciousness: Their new brewery building was designed with environmental considerations, and they partner with organizations like Bullfrog Power to choose clean energy. They also mention using eco-friendly practices.

Best Practices

• •Embrace the "Mountain Persona": Always weave in elements of the Canmore/Rocky Mountain lifestyle – adventure, nature, scenic beauty, and a laid-back vibe. Use evocative language that transports the audience to the mountains.
• •Keep it Friendly and Welcoming: Address your audience as "friends" or part of the "Grizzly Paw family." Avoid overly corporate or exclusionary language. The tone should feel like a conversation with a knowledgeable local.
• •Inject Playful Humour (Appropriately): Don't be afraid to use witty wordplay or lighthearted storytelling, similar to the website's "About Us" page. This is especially effective for social media and product naming.
• •Highlight Quality and Local Roots: Consistently mention the use of fresh, local ingredients (especially the mountain water) and the fact that products are "handcrafted" or "brewed by locals who care." This reinforces authenticity and quality.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Community Connection: Feature user-generated content (with permission), highlight local partnerships, and talk about community events. Make it clear that The Grizzly Paw is more than just a brewery; it's a community hub.
