About this beer
This is the 25th of 139 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. Its label was approved 3 days after it was submitted. The label carries imperial on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A grinning Bigfoot figure stands centered in a dense forest, holding a steaming mug in one hand and a towering stack of pancakes dripping with butter in the other. The creature is rendered in a comic-inked woodcut style with bold black outlines and cross-hatching throughout the evergreen trees, forest floor, and sky. The palette spans cream, olive green, brown, tan, and oxblood accents, with the beer name framed in decorative gold script at top and bottom against a black outer border.
