More Crafty-Beer-Inspired Art

It’s time once again to look at some artwork that was painted by a person who has craft beer on the brain. I have no idea who the artist on this is or what this painting is called, but I can tell you one thing for sure… I really like this. Check it…

I've had wonderful dreams that look a lot like the scene depicted in this painting

Here’s what I see. I see a recently poured bottle of something called Mad Lloyd’s Tumultuous Uproar Imperial Stout, Woodyatt Station, San Francisco, California. I’m not sure if this brew is a real thing or not (the interwebs are fairly vague on this matter). But in the painting, the freshly poured beer is apparently too much for the Napoleonic-period looking soldiers to handle. Perhaps it’s a metaphor for what happens when you drink this brew. Additionally, there are stormy cloud-ridden skies that are being sucked into the empty bottle, which might be an indicator of where the stout gets its power from.

This painting, which was painted by an artist named Tom Payne, first appeared in the March 2007 issue of All About Beer Magazine. Apparently, this is only one of a series of paintings about beer. For more of his paintings, go to his website (http://www.eyeballpress.com). Crafty-minded painters like him deserve all the free pub they can get. You’re welcome Tom.

Here’s to craft-brewed happiness… Cheers!
