    Haha, funny. That's more of a self proclaimed title they send out in their weekly advertisements, like having a sign on the window saying "best burgers in the world!"

    This thread might explain why people aren't jumping the bit to mention them...

    Interesting. I have a question for you @SipIt (accusingly) ARE YOU ADAM TURMAN? I saw a comment you made the other day that seemed to suggest you are in fact one Adam Turman.

    Sorry, I had to look up who Adam Turman was (for a moment, I thought he was someone important I forgot about from a history class in grade school, lol). If you're referring to the local artist, I can assure you my handwriting is barely legible and it only gets worse if I try to draw something.

    Yeah, I noticed that when I googled him, and liked a lot of the stuff I saw. Did he also design the Surly Four bottle?

    Yep. He and Jawsh the Artist (2013 Darkness label designer) also got together to do the mural for Sisyphus Brewing:

    He just had his garage sale last weekend. I sadly could not go as I was working, but if you like his stuff I highly recommend you go. It's gotten pretty big and you have to go super early to get some stuff, but it's totally worth it. You can get some awesome test print stuff that looks awesome for $10. I have three of his prints in my place with two more that need to be framed an d need more wall space. He also did the mural at Butcher and the Boar.

    I made it to the garage sale and picked up 4 prints and got them framed already. Excited to put them up in my new place!

    Is this sale still going on or was it a one day thing?

    1 day thing. He does it once per year.

    One time a year, but, if you really like his stuff, get on his email list. He'll have test print at local shows. Not as cheap, but still a very fair price and they look awesome.
