About this beer
This is the 13th of 23 labels we have from Independence Brewing Co. It is one of 3 amber / red ale labels approved in January 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The brand on the label is Independence Brewing Co; it was brewed at REAL ALE BREWING CO., HUMULUS LUPULUS ENTERPRISES, INC in Texas.
Two identical oval labels dominate the can, each featuring a stylized golden eagle with outstretched wings descending toward a small coat-of-arms shield, all rendered in black line-work against a red ground framed by bold yellow and gold borders. The beer name "AUSTIN AMBER" is set in tall white sans-serif capitals across the centre, with "Original" in script below and "ALE" in lighter blue capitals at the base. A vertical gold band reading "INDEPENDENT" in black type runs between the two label ovals on a dark ground.
