![]() This is kind of in that vein of, “You know what, we’re just having a good time.”Ĭessario: Yeah, and craft beer was definitely an inspiration from a brand perspective when we were creating Liquid Death, because I thought some of the coolest can designs and brand names were in the world of craft beer, like Arrogant Bastard. Stone, which was the original sort of West Coast IPA, has a very similar vibe to this. Do you know who Greg Koch is from Stone Brewing? ![]() But second of all, do you drink beer at all? ![]() When a group of teenagers sets off into the mountains for a weekend of drinking regular water in plastic bottles, they became hunted by an aluminum can of mountain water that was dead set on murdering their thirst and recycling their souls,” and then it goes on from there in that vein.
