About the Collab

While Societe had released artist cans in the past, this collaboration marks the brewery’s first partnership with a cultural staple like MCASD.

It started when Tyler Davis of Societe Brewing approached Dante Rowley, MCASD's Retail & Visitor Experience Manager, with the idea of an artist series can–a concept rooted in their shared history. (The two had first collaborated in the early 2000s with a clothing line before going on to launch Rosewood, an art gallery that evolved into San Diego’s largest sneaker store). During planning, artist Richie Moon was brought forward as a natural fit, and the collaboration quickly took shape, bringing the project to life.

Working through the details, Societe also became one of the premier sponsors of MCASD’s EXPO.

Following the release, around 70,000 cans will be available for purchase at 400 locations across the country where Societe is sold, including The Kitchen at MCASD and online. Find your nearest location here.
