Half Shark Alligator, Half Man

11/16/2019

Jim asked Sandy about the Jackie O's beer label he saw on the back of a door at the Tap Room location in Athens, Ohio

Sandy:
There is no real story behind this one.

Brad [former Jackie O's head brewer] sent me an email one day with the idea for the label already worked out (shark/alligator/man). He thought my comics background would make me a good choice for the art.

For some reason, I never asked him why, all he wanted from me was the drawing of the creature: no lettering, no coloring.
The design and the computer coloring were handled by Kevin Morgan.

​
That thing in "his" hand is supposed to be a knife. (I guessed it was an ice pick — Jim)

Off The Beaten Path

Tomorrow we will be releasing two new Saisons: Off The Beaten Path 1 & Off The Beaten Path 2. Both will be available at the Taproom and at the Public House starting at 11am. . Off the Beaten Path 1 was inspired by the classic Saisons that exude balance, grace, and innocence. Fermented with traditional Saison yeast strains in stainless steel and bottled conditioned with our proprietary mixed Saison culture. OTBP 1 dances on the palate with light nuances of pome fruit, peppercorns, herbaceous undertones, and straw. 5.5%ABV . Off the Beaten Path 2 was inspired by the resurgence of heirloom grains being harvested and malted. Riverbend Malt House out of North Carolina did just this with the rye varietal, Wrens Arbuzzi. Fermented in stainless steel and bottled conditioned with our proprietary mixed Saison culture. OTBP 2 showcases a bright tart character paired with notes of peppercorns, herbaceous spiciness, and fresh lemon zest. 5.5%ABV . #saison #offthebeatenpath #jackieosbrewery #athensohbeer

Jim: Walking through Seaman's grocery store, this Shade Winery bottle featuring Sandy's artwork caught my eye. While posted on this blog previously, I couldn't resist another look at this label artwork.
