Crabtree Brewing Co.

Crabtree Brewing Company is a regional brewery located in Greeley, Colorado. Jeff and Stephanie Crabtree, the founders, started brewing in 2006 after they decided to turn their homebrewing hobby into a commercial endeavor. In 2009, the brewery produced over 900 barrels of its various labels. As of 2011, it was still Greeley's only brewery.

Logo
The company logo is a play on words. Rather than feature a crabapple tree (also referred to as a crab tree), it depicts a crab in a tree. An animated version of the logo plays automatically on the front page of the company website, and appears as an Easter egg on all subsequent pages.
