Westvleteren Nouveau

Westvleteren Abbey illustration painting

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.

Westvleteren 8 & 12 crowns

trappist westvleteren 8 12 art painting
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?
