Not since the 2005 “Guys of Kingston” calendar has such a revealing impression of Kitsap culture been available to the public.

Poulsbo’s Slippery Pig Brewery is now releasing its own calendar, and it features plenty of “pig” skin.

“Pretty much, it’s a bunch of mostly naked guys that work there or hang out there,” said Slippery Pig owner Dave Lambert.

“We talked about doing a calendar for a while, just for fun. But it was a lot of talk. Our friend Melissa (Kittrell) stepped up and said ‘I can put this whole thing together.’ So she ran with it,” Lambert said.

The calendar showcases men associated with the Slippery Pig Brewery in rather vulnerable attire, if any, strategically placed in front of a camera.

While the humorous aspect of the calendar was some motivation, it actually benefits a good cause — the North Kitsap Trails Association. Sales of the calendar go to support the local organization. It all adds up to a full 12 months worth of local, beer-loving bros.

“It turned out phenomenally well,” Kittrell said. “Humorous is what it is.”

“All these men are different shapes, sizes and ages. It’s supposed to be funny. It’s like what a female pinup would be, but these are guys. Some of it is a little risqué, but it’s all humorous. Like instead of a 22-year-old girl posing with a pick up, I have a 72-year-old man.”

The calendar photos were taken over last summer at Kitsap locales, many at the Slippery Pig farm just outside of Poulsbo. The brewery was formally located at the farm, but has recently moved into a downtown Poulsbo location. No      photographs were taken at the new brewery, however.

“No, there’s too many windows there,” Lambert said.

The photo shoots went well, Lambert said, and weren’t as uncomfortable as one might think.

“It was surprisingly easy,” Lambert said of the brisk experience. “Turns out almost everybody who is in this, once they got talked into it, didn’t have too much of a problem getting their pictures taken in an embarrassing way.”

He added, “It seems like a lot of guys just want to get naked. There should have been more embarrassment than there was.”

The photos have now been turned into a 12-month calendar. But Kittrell didn’t stop there. She put as many shots to good use and made trading cards as well, one for each model from the calendar.

“She’s doing packs of three, available at the release, and that way you have to trade to get all of them,” Lambert said.

Kittrell even put stats and info on the back of each card.

“These are kind of like the first-year cards so they’ll be coveted,” she said.

The cards and calendars will be available at a launch event on Nov. 15, 6 p.m. at the brewery’s downtown Poulsbo location.

The local models will be present and it will be a good opportunity to trade cards for a full Slippery Pig set. Raffles for gift baskets and more will be held.

“Each centerfold is making a silent auction basket and we will do a silent auction that night. Whatever those raise will go the North Kitsap Trails Association,” Kittrell said.

Each calendar model had put together his own basket to auction off.

“Each centerfold had a different theme with their pictures,” Kittrell said. “So one of them is all farm goods. Another, he was posing with a pig. So (the baskets) are tailored to their pictures.”

The calendar has already proven to be a popular product. Many have already been pre-sold, leaving around 30 left. But Kittrell said that if there is enough demand, she can print more.

Part of the appeal is perhaps due to the fact that the calendars are for a good cause. Of the $20 price, $12 goes to pay for printing while the remaining $8 goes to support the North Kitsap Trails Association. The organization promotes and helps maintain the north county’s natural resource of land and water trails.

It’s not the first time locals have undressed for a good cause. In 2005, “The Guys of Kingston” calendar was released featuring strategically photographed locals in the buff. The calendar supported the Kingston Revitalization Association.
