Pittsburgh Brewing’s Brand Identity Success with Turner's Dairy

Discover how Pittsburgh Brewing Co has masterfully revitalized its brand by collaborating with local favorite Turner Dairy Farms to create hits like Turner's Hard Lemonade. By diving deep into its roots and engaging its core audience, Pittsburgh Brewing has transformed under new ownership. It's incredible to see how targeted branding and strategic collaborations have taken their brand identity to previously unimagined heights.

Clear Brand Identity and Target Audience
Pittsburgh Brewing Co. understands its core brand identity and target audience. By aligning with its heritage, the company has strengthened its connection with proud Pittsburgh locals. “Turner’s Lemonade has been a beloved part of Pittsburgh’s culture for over 50 years,” said Steve Turner, vice president of sales and marketing for Turner’s. “We anticipate this limited release will be a huge hit and look forward to bringing Turner’s Hard Lemonade back permanently in 2025.”

Strategic Collaborations with Turner's Dairy
The partnership with Turner's Dairy, another local favorite, exemplifies their strategic approach. Last year’s IC’d Tea, a hard iced tea collaboration, was a massive success. This year, they introduced Turner’s Hard Lemonade, blending Turner’s lemonade with Iron City Beer, further engaging their shared audience.

The Power of Local Partnerships
These collaborations show how local brands, or brands with similar identities, can elevate each other. By combining strengths, Pittsburgh Brewing and Turner's have created products that resonate deeply with their audience, driving sales and brand loyalty.

Key Takeaways for Success
By creating collaborative products, Pittsburgh Brewing has turned drinking these beverages into a statement of local pride, solidifying both brands in Pittsburgh's cultural fabric. Their strategy offers key takeaways for success: embrace your brand’s heritage, engage your core audience with products that resonate, form strategic collaborations with brands that share your values, and leverage regional pride to build loyalty. This approach not only reinforces their brand identity but also drives significant growth and engagement.

Pittsburgh Brewing’s revitalization and strategic collaborations with Turner's Dairy serve as a blueprint for success. Their approach is a masterclass in brand identity and audience engagement. Customers wiped out retailers when IC’d Tea became available last year, and both Pittsburgh Brewing and Turner's expect this latest product to sell out.
