Hello and welcome to the second edition of BEER SWAG where we look at all the awesome things on the market today for beer lovers.
Of course, the only thing you really need in the end is the liquid itself, and possibly a glass to put it in but that still isn't completely essential, but it does help to have the right glassware.
Last week, we looked at a shirt from MittenWear's shop on Etsy! I actually did end up purchasing this shirt so I can tell you now firsthand, buy it and you won't be sorry!
This week I'm looking at something else that is rather small and affordable, but fantastic nonetheless.
I love this website, Pop Chart Lab. I bought a poster from there previously as a gift that had different bands and musicians sorted into sections under "The Periodic Table of Heavy Metal."
Anyway, I think this website is really clever and very on-point with what people are interested in, from super heros and music to facial hair and cheese varieties. They are pleasing to both sides of the brain by being both creative, bold, and graphic as well as scientifically inclined with the layout as all of the posters are a collection of data.
Pop Chart Lab actually has several posters relating to beer, so instead of picking I'm going to apply the same method I use for grocery shopping and just pick all of them.
Mmmmm, look at all that beer.
#2. The Very, VERY Many Varieties of Beer (24" x 36") - $32
As the name would allude, this poster contains more beer.
#3. Breweries of the United States (39" x 27") - $36
Not completely comprehensive, but this does have a TON of breweries. Impressive work.
#4. The Venn of Beer (18" x 24") - $24
Simple and to the point. Magic happens in the middle.
Of course, like any great print shop, Pop Chat Lab has t-shirts printed of a few of these designs as well if you'd rather wear your art.
And last, but certainly not least, something that I am discovering is very important thanks to all the hardwood in my new apartment, COASTERS.
These coasters take your favorite umbrella genre of beer and break it down into the appropriate subcategories. Not only do they support your drink, but they support the beer know-how in your mind! They come in both concrete and acryllic. I personally think the acryllic looks really sharp.
I know that's a lot of BEER SWAG for one week, but this shop is just so cool and all of their stuff is incredibly well done. Might as well show off their entire beer related collection.
Hopefully you found something interesting somewhere in there for your beer-loving friends and family!
