In the works of Belgian painter Hervé Martijn we sense a never-ending quest for the essence of what it means to be human. Martijn’s visual language is typified by the fragility and introversion of the figures he paints with immense virtuosity. He created a serene portrait 'White pigeon in black' of West Flemish composer, pianist and singer Katrien Verfaillie.
In 2012, Sint Bernardus brewery started a yearly tradition by presenting our St.Bernardus Abt 12 in a unique way. We created a new Magnum bottle and every year, an artist created an artwork especially for this occasion.
The beer
St.Bernardus Abt 12 is considered as one of the world's greatest beers. It is still brewed following the original recipe from 1946. It's a dark abbey ale, 10% ABV, perfectly balanced with a full body and a hoppy bite.
The bottle
The dark brown Magnum bottle is designed especially for this occasion. The brewery logo is embossed in the bottle, which gives it a stylish finish. In addition, the special 'Bière Belge neck', the personalized champagne cork and the full color wirehood make this Magnum a true collector's item.
The artwork
This years’ design celebrates our 70th anniversary and offers a view on the current brewery. De screen printing of the design on the bottle makes this Magnum bottle very unique.
