About this beer
This is the 9th of 29 labels we have from The Crossing at Big Creek Brewery. It was submitted and approved the same day.
A centred emblem dominates the label: crossed baseball bats flank a full pint glass of dark beer, with playing cards, dice, and a roulette wheel arranged around them in a gambling-themed composition. Above the glass, the beer name appears in large outlined capitals, with ornamental wheat sheaves, scrollwork, and an ornate arch frame completing the heraldic arrangement. The entire design is rendered in gold, cream, oxblood, and dark brown against a deep forest green background with a subtle crosshatch texture.
