Concept & Campaign Story:
“From the guys who once put beer in hot dogs comes something even dumber — and this time, it’s your bed.”
Created as part of a giveaway campaign, the BeerBed™ is an actual beer-filled waterbed with dual beer taps built into the headboard.
- Features: Beer-filled mattress, integrated kegerator, headboard taps, and waterbed mattress.
- Quote from VP Corey Smale: “Every creative attempt we make is designed to be at least twice as dumb as the last thing we did.”

- Oversaw concept, design, and execution of the BeerBed™
- Collaborated with Garage Beer’s internal marketing team
- Built the prototype: integrated beer bed, frame, and kegerator headboard
