Small-batch light beer brand Garage Beer has partnered with illustrator Tim Jacobus on a new project that will help to get consumers in the Halloween spirit this fall. The partnership has seen Jacobus creating the Garage Fear: The Cursed Can adult comic book that will be limited to 100 copies that fans can get their hands on via the brand's merch site. The partnership has also seen limited-edition 12-packs of Garage Beer in Original and Lime illustrated by Jacobus for a cheeky touch that fans alike are expected to admire.
Jacobus spoke on partnership with Garage Beer in a statement saying, "It was a blast to take the classic, oozing slimed cover formula and conjure up a nightmare where Jason Kelce is fighting for the last beer while defending the haunted garage. Totally ridiculous concept … but, I can honestly say, I’ve been in worse places to get a beer.”
