BARREL + FLOW BEER CAN ART SERIES
THE STEEL BUFFALO |2026

Janel Young was one of several artists paired up with a local brewery for beer label artwork to spice up the Barrel + Flow beer festival. The festival (previously known as Fresh Fest) is geared toward amplifying Black brewers + breweries, local musicians + visual artists.

In 2026, Young partnered with the Altered Genius + Troegs Independent Brewing duo. With Altered Genius becoming the first Black woman-owned brewery in the region, the art marked a special occasion.
