     This is an original oil painting of some (maybe most, but not all) of Belgium's great breweries. This painting includes crowns (and cork and cage tops) from Rochefort, Rodenbach, d'Achouffe, Saison Dupont, Westvleteren, Gulden Draak, St. Bernardus, Westmalle, Chimay, Orval, Duvel, and De Struise. Okay, we'll admit - De Struise has blank crowns and we had to make a fake one, but we feel they are too goddamn good to not include. "But why did you not include Fantome, then?" We don't know, we're sorry. In any case, we're very happy with how this painting came out. Much like the painting of California caps that we did, this one is more painterly than our regular work.

Westvleteren Nouveau

This isn't the first piece of Westvleteren-inspired art we've done and it probably won't be the last. We love the mystique surrounding this Trappist brewery and the three great beers that come from it. With these paintings and illustrations we are always trying to pay tribute to beers and breweries we love. Beyond that, we like the idea of elevating beer art beyond tin signs and neon lights. With Westvleteren, it is about filling a void, as there is virtually no way for those that love Westvleteren to show it beyond saving a few caps.

As with the other illustrations we've done, this illustration is priced quite a bit lower than our regular oil paintings. Despite the fact that this is an illustration, it is still drawn, inked, and painted on canvas with a hanging wire on the back and a varnished surface for protection.

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.

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?

There may be superior Belgian quadruples out there, but this is the one we keep coming back to.

Trappist Orval Oil Painting

SOLD

The classic, incredibly unique Orval ale, a Belgian Trappist with brettanomyces yeast.

Trappist Westvleteren 12 Oil Painting

16x20in
SOLD

Trappist Westvleteren 12, the prestigious Belgian quadruple with no label. This is the beer that originally inspired us to start painting caps, as it was a necessity in this case. Luckily, it is a beautifully intricate cap.
