IN PARTNERSHIP, BIG MEDIUM AND THIRSTY PLANET BREWING CO. ANNOUNCE ALIE JACKSON AS THE SELECTED ARTIST FOR THE THIRSTY PLANET ARTIST SERIES 2021.

In collaboration with a Thirsty Planet brewer, Jackson will conceptualize and create a seasonal beer, starting with flavor, name, label, and packaging. This concept beer will launch and be widely available in retail locations across Austin during the 2021 Austin Studio Tour.

Alie will be brewing alongside Thirsty Planet’s own Shane Erickson. Shane moved to Austin in 2011 and his first beer was Thirsty Goat Amber, leading him to start home brewing in his apartment, concocting an amber of his own. He recently brewed Dumpster Fire, a classic pale ale to celebrate 2020 coming to a close. The two will work together to decide on a style, recipe, and name, responding to the artist’s work.

In collaboration with a Thirsty Planet brewer, one Austin based artist creates a concept beer, label, and packaging based on their artistic work. This seasonal beer is launched and widely available in retail locations across Austin during the Austin Studio Tour.
