Rochefort 8 crown

Oil on canvas
14x18in

Trappist Rochefort 8, an incredible beer we find superior to Westvleteren 8, St. Bernardus Prior 8, and Rochefort 10, which are all really great beers in their own right.





Up next: some commissions, a unique Unibroue still-life, and maybe something a bit interesting with a Russian River crown.

Gulden Draak crown

14x18in

Oil on canvas

One of my all-time favorite beers - Brouwerij Van Steenberge's Gulden Draak. This beer comes in a unique bottle coated pure white. The Gulden Draak crown is an equally iconic black and gold, featuring the namesake of the beer, which is based on the golden dragon at the top of the belfry in the Belgian city of Ghent.



Up next: a Rochefort 8 crown.

Thomas Hardy on Art

Art is the secret of how to produce by a false thing the effect of a true.

Westvleteren 8 & 12 crowns

14x36x1.5in
Oil on canvas
SOLD

This painting celebrates Trappist Westvlereten 8 and 12 from the St. Sixtus abbey in Westvleteren in the West Flanders region of Belgium. This bold, atmospheric oil painting is 3-feet-wide - a substantial centerpiece for any basement bar, mancave, or beer cellar.

Have a Westvleteren collection in your cellar? It's a shame that without this painting, photographs of your collection will only yield murky fields of plain brown bottles. Oh you say you have your bottles in the Westvleteren-branded crates? Well, Mr. (or Ms.) Fancypants, do you really think that this painting won't look awesome above your crates?

The Beers of Three Floyds Brewery

28x21x1.75in
Commission

With some of the most wildly graphical labels in the industry, it is quite the adventure to paint Three Floyds bottles. With this painting, we worked with a bit of optical blurring as the bottles recede into the background.

Painting in context

This photo illustrates how much larger-than-life some of our paintings are - of course the crown paintings are even more proportionally larger. Many people (myself included) keep empty bottles of their favorite beers on display, but as empty bottles take up a lot of space and are essentially vessels for dust, these paintings may be a welcome alternative for some.

Coming soon: A composition of four Westvleteren crowns and a Gulden Draak crown.
