Lagunitas: Mega Keg Event Props

Product Description

One hot summer afternoon, we got a phone call from Lagunitas Beer Co. with a request to create three massive 6-foot tall event props for a rapidly approaching upcoming event. The content? Perfect scale replicas of real Lagunitas beer kegs. Our team quickly rose to the challenge, whipping up these unique sculptural pieces just in time for the show to go on.

“There’s no rule book for making something like that”, says Tim Whitmore, sculptor and creator on 555’s production team, who was the mastermind behind creating these custom event props. The final kegs were made of a custom wood frame wrapped in curved plywood, finished off with scenic painting and filling techniques to create a perfect replica of the real thing, yet 5 times the size.
