Celebrating Durango, Colorado's Beer History
I did NOT paint this mural. I’m not nearly that talented. My friend and collaborator Hannah Wilson painted this beautiful mural with her beloved mountain and flower-centered style to help turn this previously gray wall into a colorful masterpiece viewed by more than 7 million cars every year.
We worked together to get funding from the City of Durango’s Lodger’s Tax Arts and Culture Fund, which we used to bring together all five breweries in Durango (a town of 20,000): Carver Brewing (the oldest brewpub in the Southwest, second oldest in Colorado, owned by two of my best friends), Ska Brewing, Animas Brewing, Anarchy Brewing, and Steamworks Brewing. They all contributed to the mural costs.
The result is a piece of public art which we hope will make Durango more beautiful and coin the superlative: brewery capital of the Southwest.
