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.

Rochefort Nouveau
18x24x.75in
SOLD
This is an original illustration of Brasserie de Rochefort with barley and the three Rochefort crowns. Priced lower than our regular work, it has a thinner canvas profile - however, it still comes with a hanging wire attached to the back.
This is our first attempt at an Art Nouveau-inspired illustration. It is not quite as Art Nouveau as we originally intended, but that should change with each piece we do. Up next: Brasserie d'Orval and Cantillon Blåbær Lambik.

Tröegs Brewery
Commission
This commissioned painting of beers from Tröegs Brewery (based out of Harrisburg, PA) is the first brewery-centric bottle line-up with branded glassware that we've had the pleasure of doing. The beer was just as fun to drink - we especially loved the Flying Mouflan. Unfortunately, we had to paint the Nugget Nectar (arguably their most critically-acclaimed beer) from an empty bottle.
