The Eliqs Beer can design contest was an Instagram contest in which Eliqs would choose the best designs and put them up on their site to be used as designs for the beer they sold. Half the proceeds would go to the artist and the other half would go to a fund to benefit those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. My design was inspired by the MRE (Meal Ready to Eat). MRE’s are self contained meals designed for our military, who would usually be deployed in the field. I have many fond memories of eating these with my best friends growing up. I thought it’d be funny if the government issued beer similar to these meals, thus the Beer Ready to Drink was born!
