Booze / Arts / City Coming Soon from Elysian Brewery and Charles Burns: The Twelve Beers of the Apocalypse

From the Fantagraphics blog:

In a year-long wind-up to the end of all time (according to the Mayan calendar), Elysian Brewing Company and Fantagraphics Books, both of Seattle, are planning a series of twelve beers, issued on the 21st of each month in 2012 and featuring label artwork by Charles Burns. Taken from Burns's weirdly apocalyptic work Black Hole, the labels will adorn Elysian's "Twelve Beers of the Apocalypse," featuring the creativity and unusual ingredients for which its brewing team is known.

I loved Black Hole, remembering it not so much as a book but as a great movie I saw, and I look forward to seeing it on beer.
