AleSmith taps Ground Floor Murals for beers honoring Tony Gywnn

Zoom in: The murals will grace the labels of limited-edition cans of AleSmith's Mr. Padre 2000 double pale ale and Mr. Padre 3000 triple pale ale.

• They recognize Gwynn's milestones of 2,000 and 3,000 hits, which came in August 1993 and August 1999, respectively.

Between the lines: Ground Floor Murals has made its mark around the city with bold animals and detailed portraits of several current and former Padres.

• "The coolest thing is that we're known for this now … Tony Gwynn has become an integral part of who we are as artists," Jimenez told Axios.

Driving the news: The artists and AleSmith unveiled the murals last week with Gwynn's wife, Alicia.

Flashback: In 2014, AleSmith worked with Tony Gwynn to brew the signature .394 Pale Ale, which is named after his record-setting, single-season batting average.

• It was released 10 days before Gwynn died from cancer, according to the brewery.

What's next: Mark your calendars for AleSmith's annual Tony Gwynn Day on Aug. 3 for a party with the beer release, live music, food pop-ups and a chance to meet the artists.

The intrigue: Visit the Tony Gwynn Museum inside the local brewery.
