Unfortunately, this artwork by Hannah Aitchison didn’t make it in time for the official  release of this new limited Lagunitas brew, Zephyr Ale. But it’ll no doubt show up somewhere.

Anyone near Philly the rest of this year needs to check out this exhibition and snap some pics for the Umlaut. Please. Have always loved the sailor/Americana tattoo art. This sounds incredible. More info at the Independence Seaport Museum.

Peep a small slideshow at The NY Times.
