The Mighty Conrad Pub & Microbrewery - Designed the name and logo for a fictional pub to be located in Canfield, Ohio based upon one of its founding settlers. Produced the hanging storefront sign from that logo. Also named a line of three year-round beers and three seasonal beers, designed and silkscreened their labels and packaging.

The Mighty Conrad Pub & Microbrewery - The pub's sign was laser cut and then hand stained, painted, and gold leafed to give the finished look.

The Mighty Conrad Year-Round Beer Line - Designed, hand silkscreened and embossed this lineup of year-round beers for The Mighty Conrad Pub & Microbrewery. Each is named after a story relating to Conrad himself, which is told on the back label. Names from left to right are: Stubborn Horse India Pale Ale, Rail Splitter Imperial Pilsner, and Four Eighty Wheat Ale.

Stubborn Horse India Pale Ale - Designed, hand silkscreened, and embossed. This is the first of The Mighty Conrad's three year-round beers. Back label story reads: In 1816, the Mighty Conrad was training a horse. Traditionally, in the first days of its training, it would usually take two, three or even four men to contain an unruly horse. However, Conrad had hands the size of spades, so when a horse was misbehaving, Canfield’s strongest man would give it a single tap on the head and it would fall to the ground, out cold.

Four Eighty Wheat Ale - Designed, hand silkscreened, and embossed. This is the second of The Mighty Conrad's three year-round beers. Back label story reads: In 1812, the Mighty Conrad was in a hurry. He had eight bushels of wheat (or 480 pounds) to take to Lanterman’s mill, and his wagon was nearly a mile away. Not wanting to waste any time, Conrad hoisted all eight bushels onto his back and shoulders, carried it to his wagon, dropped it in the bed, and rode the rest of the way.

Rail Splitter Imperial Pilsner - Designed, hand silkscreened, and embossed. This is the third of The Mighty Conrad's three year-round beers. Back label story: In 1808, the Mighty Conrad worked for the railroad. Jonathan Kline, a man who had refined rail-splitting to an art, held the local speed record, having split 1,200 rails in one day. Feeling invincible, Kline challenged Canfield’s strongest man to break his record. Conrad split 1,212 rails on his first day on the job, and Kline never challenged him to any contest again.

Year-Round Packaging - Designed, hand silkscreened, and embossed the 4 pack carriers for each of the three year-round beers brewed and sold by The Mighty Conrad Pub & Microbrewery.

The Mighty Conrad Seasonal Beer Line - Additionally, designed, hand silkscreened and embossed a line up of seasonal beers for The Mighty Conrad Pub & Microbrewery. Each is named after a story relating to Conrad himself, which is told on the back label. Names from left to right are: Broken Ribs Irish Stout, Stolen Apple Fruit Lambic, and Nagging Wife Christmas Lager.

Broken Ribs Irish Stout - Designed, hand silkscreened, and embossed. This is the first release of The Mighty Conrad's three seasonal beers. Back label story reads: In 1814, the Mighty Conrad didn’t want any trouble. Known far and wide for his strength, Conrad was constantly being challenged to fights by aspiring strongmen. One such ruffian was so persistent that Conrad shoved him into a crowd, breaking three of his ribs. Conrad felt so bad that he took him into his home and nursed him back to health.

Stolen Apple Fruit Lambic - Designed, hand silkscreened, and embossed. This is the second release of The Mighty Conrad's three seasonal beers. Back label story: In 1819, the Mighty Conrad was putting up lodgers. One traveler (whom Conrad was housing for the night) had arrived with crates full of delicious apples, but denied Conrad’s family even a taste. That night, Conrad’s sons pilfered a large quantity of apples from the man’s luggage, but the man was so fearful of Conrad’s strength that he didn’t even mention it.

Nagging Wife Christmas Lager - Designed, hand silkscreened, and embossed. This is the third release of The Mighty Conrad's three seasonal beers. Back: In 1811, the Mighty Conrad was building a chimney. Every day, Conrad went outside and started building one from the ground up. Every night, his wife (who wanted a fashionable indoor chimney) went outside with a sledgehammer and knocked it down. Eventually he relented and built the chimney inside, showing that even Canfield’s strongest man was no match for his wife.

Seasonal Packaging - Designed, stained, built, and embossed the packaging for each of the three seasonal beers brewed, bottled, served, and sold at The Mighty Conrad Pub & Microbrewery.
