Like many Americans, I spent a good portion of my Monday enjoying the hype and pure spectacle that was #Eclipse2017. It’s not every day that you get to witness such a historical astrological event, so it was cool to see the pure visceral excitement folks around the nation emitted when the sun obscured the moon for a brief moment this afternoon.

That said, the actual eclipse was only part of the fun, as both consumer brands and craft breweries showcased their best eclipse-themed posts to be part of the viral social moment. Here are some of my favorites from the craft beer space.

Revolution Brewing

A Sun Crusher + Deth’s Tar stop-motion video? Amazing.This one was my favorite of the day, plus it gave viewers a look at the new Deep Wood Series cans.

The use of bottle caps to shield the sun is *not* recommended.

Viewing the eclipse was an all-day experience for some.

Not that we needed a reason to drink on the roof on a Monday afternoon, but we'll take it. #eclipse #eclipse2017 pic.twitter.com/J7MoUvS3LD

Blocking the harmful UV rays with some homemade Day Blazer box shades. Nice.
