20th Anniversary
the history of
our discovery series
Our Discovery Series is a locally-exclusive, small-batch series of beers that offer our brewers a chance to explore both traditional and innovative styles, ingredients and techniques. It’s all about showcasing the creativity and talent of our brewers.
We’ve had 9 great brews in this series, including a dark, malty Schwarzbier, a hazy German-style Hefeweizen, a light, crisp Berliner Weisse, a hoppy Bavarian Lager, and everything in between. Brew No. 10 will be a Super Session IPA released in early spring!
The first 6 brews featured the work of local artists and photographers. After a brief hiatus, we’re excited to showcase the talent and creativity of a local artist on the can again for this brew.
calling all
local artists
We’re looking for local artists to submit their artwork to be featured on the next can!
All styles are welcome – illustration, graffiti, water colour, etc. just as long as the artwork is digitized and high resolution.
You have complete creative freedom as to what you’d like to design, but we ask that you keep a few things in mind: when the beer is being released (spring), the beer style (Super Session IPA), and our brand (FBC).
If you’re looking for inspiration, check out Brews No. 5 and No. 6 in our Discovery Series! These brews featured the work of artists Megan Henderson and Bailey Repp.
You’re welcome to upload up to 3 designs if you have a few pieces of art that you feel might fit! Still keen? Read on for the nitty gritty.
