Original oil painting of Russian River sours

Oil on Canvas

16x32in

SOLD

Russian River Brewing, based out of Santa Rosa, CA, is well-known for making incredible beers inoculated (or willfully infected, if you will) with brettanomyces, a wild yeast that is often feared in winemaking and brewing circles. This painting pays tribute to Temptation and Supplication, two wonderfully nuanced wild ales. Along with being made with brettanomyces, lactobacillus, pediococcus, and saccharomyces, these two in particular are also barrel-aged for a year. If you've never had a wild ale, we highly recommend trying one of these. If your cellar is already loaded with Russian River sours, then this painting may be just the thing your walls need.

With this beer painting, we did a little something special and took process photos along the way. We left out the boring stuff like going to the wood shop and building the canvas frame, stretching the canvas, and triple-priming (not to be confused with Miller Lite's "triple-hopping") and sanding the canvas.

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.

Masters of the barrel, Firestone Walker brews out of Paso Robles, California. We are huge fans of Firestone Walker and can't resist picking up at least one six pack of Union Jack IPA every week. From their great regular line-up, to the incredible Abacus barleywine we recently tried, we're pretty convinced this brewery can do no wrong, which is why we wanted to pay tribute to them with this painting.

Trappist Nouveau

14x36in

Mixed Media on Canvas

SOLD

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.
