Marz Community Brewing Co. isn't afraid to get a little weird. This custom lettering and neon sign design celebrates one of their flagship brews—Jungle Boogie—in a not-so-subtle nod to the ubiquitous It's Miller Time neon that you probably have hanging in your local watering hole right now. This piece designed in collaboration Neon Mike, a local legend in the neon world, and was an exercise in how to design to the limitations of production. It's Boogie Time can be found hanging proudly in the Marz taproom at 3630 S. Iron St. in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood.
