A curated six pack of prints celebrating Northside culture, designed for Allegheny City Brewing by local artist Francis Gigantic. Featuring ACBeez, Going Up To Cali, Stacks, Kellerbier Mitch, Pontivilla, and Mr. Irrelevant, this collection turns local iconography—from historic smokestacks and Pirates baseball to neighborhood milestones—into bold art. Includes two ready-to-hang framed prints and four unframed prints to swap out or display together.

For over six years, local artist, musician, and community gardener Francis Gigantic has designed iconic label art for Allegheny City Brewing. Blending 1990s DIY aesthetic with crisp, modern layout design, Francis captures the unique story, neighborhood history, and flavor profile behind every single release.

The Prints

• ACBeez: The signature label for ACB’s beloved amber ale, brewed with hyper-local honey harvested directly from the Community Garden at Allegheny Commons Park and Holy Graille Honey.
• Going Up To Cali: A vibrant tribute to a Dutch-Style Kuyt Ale, crafted to celebrate the grand opening of ACB’s Brighton Heights location on California Avenue.
• Stacks: A bold design for ACB’s Smoked Porter, paying homage to the historic 1914 Heinz factory smokestacks that form the backdrop of the Deutschtown skyline.
• Kellerbier Mitch: A classic German-style lager print honoring Pirates ace Mitch Keller and his visits to connect with fans right here in the neighborhood.
• Pontivilla: A stunning Italian Pilsner print fusing the iconic North Shore skyline with the sun-drenched palette of Positano, Italy.
• Mr. Irrelevant: A commemorative Session IPA print created for the historic 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh to keep Northsiders refreshed all weekend long.
