This is the second beer painting we've done on panel, the first being the Westvleteren crowns. We're able to price these works a wee bit lower than their canvas counterparts, as the preparations required for painting on a panel are far less time consuming than that of building and stretching a canvas. Quite like their canvas counterparts, these paintings on panel have cleanly painted sides, a varnished surface, and come with a hanging wire on the back. 

The 7 Trappist Breweries

Oil on Canvas

Commission

A commissioned oil painting of the seven Trappist breweries - the six in Belgium - Achel, Orval, Westvleteren, Rochefort, Westmalle, and Chimay - and the one in the Netherlands - La Trappe. This may be the ultimate beer painting, at least that we'll ever produce.

     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.

This is an original Art Nouveau-inspired illustration of the six Trappist breweries of Belgium - Westvleteren, Chimay, Achel, Westmalle, Rochefort, and Orval. Each brewery is represented in its proper location on the map of Belgium, along with having a cork or crown in the composition (except Achel, which have plain crowns). While some many debate which brewery produces the best beer, it is undeniable that all the Trappist breweries of Belgium have a rich history of producing world-class beers. The incredibly unique Orval, the highly-sought after Westvleteren 12, the style-defining Westmalle Tripel, the ubiquitous, yet great Chimay Grande Reserve, and our personal favorite, the Rochefort 8 are all worth celebrating on their own - - and together in this illustration.

Orval Nouveau

20x24in

SOLD

This is an original Art Nouveau-inspired illustration of Orval, the iconic and very unique Belgian Trappist ale. This illustration depicts the also very unique bottle and glassware of Orval, as well as the legend of the trout returning the lost ring. According to Wikipedia, the legend of Orval is as follows:

There is a legend of the abbey's foundation, purporting to explain the name '"Orval" and the coat of arms. According to this, the widowed Mathilda of Tuscany was visiting the site, when she lost her wedding ring in a spring, to her great distress. When she prayed for the return of the ring, a trout appeared on the surface of the water with the ring in its mouth. She exclaimed "Truly this place is a Val d'Or(Golden Valley)", from which the name "Orval" is derived, and in gratitude made available the funds for the foundation of the monastery here. The abbey arms show the trout and ring. The spring still supplies water to the monastery and its brewery.

This illustration is priced significantly lower than our regular work, but still comes with a hanging wire on the back - no framing is necessary.
