The Beers of Three Floyds Brewery

Three Floyds Oil Painting Gumballhead Dark Lord Dreadnaught art

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.

Three Floyds Brewery Oil Painting

16x20x1.5in
SOLD

The bold brewery based in Munster, Indiana. While widely-known for their giant Russian Imperial Stout, Dark Lord, Three Floyds makes many wonderful, unique beers.

We recently had their Blackheart English IPA and we absolutely loved it.

"For Christmas last year my girlfriend completely surprised me by commissioning you to paint a bottle of Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier. A few months earlier we had met up in Munich for Oktoberfest which included a day trip out to the Weihenstephaner brewery, which I think will go down as one of my favorite days ever. The painting holds a very special place in my heart and it hangs proudly in our living room situated so that wherever you sit you can easily see it and a truncated version of it resides as the lock screen on my phone. Thank you both so much for the wonderful work that you do, I check your website frequently and wish that I could afford to buy some more paintings."

"When I first saw their paintings online, I honestly thought they were modified photographs, because they truly look like the real thing. But after checking their site out and seeing their other work, I could not resist having one of my own for my basement (aka Manland).

All I can say is that I was blown away at the final product. I kept asking Louie to send me photos of the painting in progress, but he refused in that they don't like doing that until it is finished. I was like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. When I finally got the piece, I was truly amazed. It is proudly handing at the bottom of my basement steps so everyone sees it as they go downstairs (and also sits right outside my beer cellar). "
