About this beer
This is the 46th of 139 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. Its label was approved 11 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A jolly Santa figure in red suit and white beard juggles multicoloured orbs while surrounded by floating beer cans and bottles against a dark teal starry sky with lightning bolts. The character dominates the composition, rendered in a comic-inked style with thick outlines and dimensional shading in cream, red, gold, and brown tones. Text and regulatory information occupy the right panel in white sans-serif type against the same teal ground.
