When artist Lyle Hehn set out to create this design, a whirligig of ideas spun through his head. Tattoos, Halloween eye patches, 1950s hangover slang: “Man, that cat was sportin’ a beer atom.” And what twirled through his mind coalesced in his hands as this cool cat emerged, centered at the nucleus of Lyle’s take on McMenamins’ beer atom.

• 20oz glass with epoxy etch logo
• Nucleation points on a beer glass is an etching on the bottom which helps the release of carbonation and can create a steady stream of bubbles emanating from the etched portion of the glass. This works by CO2 releasing (dissolving into gas) when it comes in contact with the rough surface of the nucleation points.  A nucleation point increases the amount of bubbles released when compared side by side with a non- nucleated beer glass.
