Rude has designed a series of labels for a new run of specialty brews being offered by Edmonton's Sherbrooke Liquor, under the brand of Revere Beer.
Each of the twelve beers in this series features a different beer-related god from the world's various pantheons, from Tepoztecatl (god of the fermented Aztec beer Pulque) to Kamui Fuchi (the hearth goddess of Japan's Anui, who brewers prayed to in order to receive fermentation).
The beers themselves have been brewed by the Paddock Wood Brewing Company, in consultation with Jeff Werstiuk to reflect the god represented and the culture that god arises from. One new beer will be released each quarter for three years, starting in August with Slavic goddess of beer Ragutiene, whose beer will be a Baltic Porter.

Beer Gods! I may have just found religion!

The artwork of the ninth god appears to be missing. I wonder which it is and why he's not offering it for sale...? Here's a link with shots of what the labels themselves will look like in color:http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/07/28/beer-brewed-with-added-steve...
A calendar featuring these gods will also be made available. Beer labels by one of my favorite comic book artists. Beer and comic books: the two big loves of my life!* You can bet I'll be buying these.
*(As far as material things are concerned, c'mon.)
I hope the beers can live up to the label adorning them!
There's only one way to find out! :)

Three of the pieces are gone (I didn't buy them!), presumably bought via the "Buy It Now" option.
