Introducing James Yeo, the Artist Behind Left Handed Giant’s Artwork

Left Handed Giant are one of the rising stars in the UK craft beer scene. We’ve started getting more of their beers in Belfast recently and we’ve been blown away, both by the quality of the beer but also the stunning branding which made them stand out when filling our basket.

In the burgeoning craft beer scene, it’s vital to stand out from the crowd. Left Handed Giant do just that, with their whimsical, beautiful artwork. They’re probably the most visually impressive cans in the UK right now so we were super excited to chat to James Yeo, the artist behind the artwork, to find out more about their creative process.

Lightyear’s Chas Chats Beer, Pizza & Punk Rock

Beer Interviews No Reply

Lightyear are a seven-piece ska-punk band known for their chaotic live shows and feel good vibes; a punk rock party band. They released two albums on Household Name Records between 2001-2003 before splitting up shortly afterwards, having toured intensely during that time.

In just a few short years, they managed to get kicked off the Jackass tour, sneak on stage with Ice T dressed as a pantomime horse and play Reading and Leeds festival multiple times including a gig in the campsite with a PA & generator. It’s also worth noting that they were dressed as ninjas for that campsite gig and they played after Metallica finished, so technically, they headlined the festival. READ MORE

Frank Turner Signature Brew tasting session

Let’s begin at the beginning… we’ve known Frank for quite a while, having booked his first couple of Irish tours for him over a decade ago. Having shared beers, pizzas and drunken chit-chat before we thought, why not do it again?

Frank’s currently playing some solo shows in Mexico before embarking on an almost sold-out UK tour in support of his 7th album, Be More Kind. He was kind enough to chat with us during some down-time on the road. READ MORE

Talkin’ Beer & Art with Lervig’s Art Director, Nanna Guldbæk

Beer Interviews No Reply

Lervig is an independently owned and operated craft brewery located in Stavanger, Norway. They consistently push the boundaries of craft beer and have brewed some of our favourites over the last couple of years – Sippin’ Into Darkness, Big Ass Money Stout (brewed with pizza and money… no really!) and Tasty Juice, to name a few.

Over the last year or so, they’ve also raised the bar in terms of the artwork adorning their wonderful beers. One of the most interesting recent releases was Liquid Sex Robot. We posted a photo of the can on Instagram last week and who responded? None other than Lervig’s Art Director, Nanna Guldbæk! READ MORE
