If you like beer, and if you like art, you are in for a double treat!
I was recently approached by Paul McGrane (co-owner with his brother Mark McGrane and sister-in-law, Jade) of the JAILHOUSE TAPS AND BREWS in Lead, South Dakota. Paul expressed an interest in purchasing one of PATH’s incarcerated artist’s graphic designs to use on a souvenir promotional T-Shirt for their new craft beer taproom. Their Jailhouse Taps features the newest delicious, craft beers and happens to be located in the lower level of the historic Town Hall Inn in Lead, which was once a jail (1912-early 30’s). And, just a few days ago, on 9/4/20, their local “Black Hills Pioneer” newspaper published an article about it.
Their Taproom T-shirt features (on the back side) the marvelous graphic design drawing by incarcerated artist, Bradley Cain. A portion of the sales of these T’s will eventually go to support prison art programs where Bradley is incarcerated.
Here you see me modeling a size medium, black on grey T-shirt. I am normally a size 8, so you can get a good idea of what size “T” you need to request when placing your order. Quality fabric and comfortable to the touch (50 % Heavy Cotton and 50% Polyester).
Currently, they offer black on gray and white on black for local purchase in sizes Small through double XL. Their vendor will soon be setting up an online store at which point shirts can be ordered directly, any size, any color, any style.
Thank you Bradley and thank you, Paul for making this great art and beer connection!
Blessings,
