Sun King Brewery commissioned Indianapolis artist Carl Leck to create this mural for their College Avenue brewery and retail outlet.

The mural’s design is based on the “4 Beer-ly elements” (water, hops, barley, yeast), which are also represented in the company’s logo. The artist wanted some eye-catching, over-the-top scale elements, and decided to make the hops the main element (the yeast were a bit tough to represent on a large scale, being micro-organisms!). The beer can pouring into a glass is Osiris, one of Sun King’s best-selling brews. In order to tie the design to the brewery’s location in downtown Indianapolis, the artist created a mountain stream transforming into the Downtown Canal.
