The Bury-based beer brand, Beerhunter, has teamed up with legendary British graphic designer and band manager, Brian Cannon, to help a local venue in jeopardy.
42’s is a celebrated nightclub, loved by Manchester’s residents. However, it’s now at risk of closing its doors (and turning off its speakers) forever. This spot has been bringing alternative music fans together since 1990, and Beerhunter wants to ensure that these fun nights out can continue long into the future.
To support the popular nightspot, they’ve created a limited edition Manchester craft beer set, with the box and glass designed by the brilliant Brian Cannon. For every set sold, the company will donate £4.20 directly to 42’s.
“42’s is close to our hearts, so we approached Brian Cannon. We asked him to build a collection with a bespoke design that appeals to music lovers while encapsulating Beerhunter from an artist’s perspective.
Cannon is an icon in the music industry; he’s crafted memorable album covers for several Greater Manchester bands, like Oasis and The Verve. As a Bury-based business, we wanted to use his experience to help us back a great cause.”

The special Manchester case features an illustrated Beerhunter Schooner Glass and four punchy cans from a range of the city’s brewers. This comes as part of the new Brian Cannon Collection.
“I took the inspiration for the box designs from an iconic still from the movie ‘The Deer Hunter’, featuring Robert De Niro. I replaced the hunting rifle with a can of beer and a glass, as I thought there were obvious demographic crossovers.”
