99 Cardboard Beers On The Wall

Cardboard Art. Take one down, pass it around...

Yo-Ho Brewing Company’s Suiyoubi No Neko, 41/99

I had seen this label floating around, but had never seen it in person until I was in Hong Kong last year. It’s delicious, and I love the can so so much!

*I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but have a handful of new ones completed that I”ll be posting over the course of this month! Back in the saddle again!

Westbrook Brewing Co. Gose, 40/99

I haven't had a chance to try this beer, but I couldn't resist painting the can! I mean come on! I think I've got a thing for white beer can designs...

On another note, I've painted 40 beers! Edging closer to the halfway mark...

Modern Times Lomaland, 39/99

While I haven't actually had this beer (since I haven't seen it anywhere I've been beer shopping on the east coast), I fell in love with Modern Times clean white cans. Their color coded labeling system and brand name pulled me in. While I won't paint them all, I'd definitely like to give another Modern Times a shot near the end of my project - the lettering was super tough, and something I'd like to improve on over the course of this project.

Uinta Brewing Punk'n Harvest Pumpkin Ale, 38/99

I'm a bit behind on my seasonal brews, but here's a fun one from the fall. Simple but bold graphics on a can!

Speakeasy Scarlet Red Rye, 37/99

This label reminds me of all the old noir films - I was sold the moment I spotted it!

Definitely one of the more detailed labels I've attempted thus far

[99cardboardbeers]

More beers coming later this week, but for now, a peek at the collection as a whole! I'd originally thought the whole project would fit on this wall, but now I'm not so sure...

If you haven't already, go submit your favorite beer for me to paint!

Sixpoint Resin, 36/99

To be fair, I haven't actually drank this beer...but that will soon be remedied! The can was just too fun to not paint. Bonus points, Sixpoint Brewery is a short bike ride away, in Red Hook Brooklyn.

While the painting is of a tallboy, it's only about 5" tall!

Miller Lite, 33/99

Heineken, 34/99

National Bohemian, 35/99

These are baby beers! I've got a bunch of white cardboard saved up from various packaging that's come through my life, and I spent some time on the sofa with my Prismacolor markers.

While they made for some fun quick sketches, I found it difficult to layer as i've been used to with acrylic. Despite that, it was nice to switch to a different medium for a change. Will continue to use marker on the remainder of the white cardboard, and maybe even try various other mediums (collage comes to mind!)

Stone Ruination IPA, 32/99

A number of the Stone brews have been requested, but this was the only empty bottle I had on my reference shelf. It's a year round release, so you should be able to get your hands on if if you haven't already tasted it! I'll have to get my hands on one of their limited release bottles next. (Or, Stone, if you're reading this, send me some beers and I'll paint them all!)

As we all prep to make giant meals, drink, and give thanks, I hope everyone gets to enjoy a cold one!

Kona Brewing Longboard Island Lager, 31/99

This one is for my buddy Blake, who recommended this beer to me. The label is a nice little break for the cold weather descending on the east coast at the moment! Cheers Blake!

Dharma Initiative Beer, 30/99

I remember the pilot episode of Lost, Jack was running around being all heroic, and doctorly. I scoffed and asked, "What, is he a doctor or something? That's ideal isn't it?" Turns out, he was a doctor. Go figure.

I watched the whole show, on and off. I was as disappointed by the end as everyone else. I did like the design of all the Dharma Initiative stuff though!

Founders All Day IPA, 29/99

On top of being a delicious beer, this label inspires weekend getaways and adventures! What would you do with a red canoe and a wood paneled vehicle?

Hobbybrouwerij Het Nest Schuppen Aas, 28/99

I really only bought this beer because of the Ace of Spades art. Painting the banner reminded me of high school when I would doodle sparrows carrying banners all over my notebooks.

[99cardboardbeers]

Duff, 27/99

Soooo, I was unaware this is an actual beer. Made famous as the beer of choice on the Simpsons, you can now apparently buy real Duff beer in a replica Moe's Tavern or Waterfront Duff Brewery in the Springfield section of Universal Studios Florida.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more photos of people with this beer!

[99cardboardbeers]

Abita Amber Ale, 26/99

Amber and the Restoration Ale are my favorite Abita brews. Just seeing the label makes me want beignets at Cafe du Monde. And some gumbo. And..well you get the point.

Great South Bay Blood Orange Pale Ale, 25/99

I'm a big fan of the labels that Great South Bay uses, and this is the second bottle of theirs in the #99Cardboardbeers series. I was also very curious how a blood orange pale ale would taste. It was delicious!

Keep an eye out if you're a fan of Great South Bay label art - pretty sure I'll be painting a few more of them before I hit 99...

Tecate, 24/99

I love the simplicity of this can. When this project first started, I grabbed the beer in my fridge and painted it. Recently though, I've found myself looking for certain things I'm in the mood to paint -  a fish on the label, an intricate design, or, in this case, a bold and graphic can.

I've never actually seen this version of the can in person, anybody know what region it's distributed in?
