After seeing video of a beer can turned into a guitar amp, Robert Brenne got inspired to try his hand at home-brewing his own custom music gear out of oddball parts. A mid-20s pop-culture fan, Brenne tends to make amps that reflect his interests and personality. Browse his website and you’ll find amps made of vintage Nintendo gear and merchandise from the likes of Pac-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . “I like finding what someone had and really liked as a kid, like a Ghostbusters lunch box ,” he told Wired. “Now that you’re older, you can’t really display it in your house, but as an amp it’s functional.” Pairing that collector’s eye with DIY spirit, Brenne turned to the web, where you can find instructions for almost everything, from building a videogame in a box to making zombie makeup out of grocery store items.

It's called "Wit Ginger, Not Mary Ann," and was published by the esteemed beer-brewing magazine, Zymurgy.
