Sun King mural

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.
