About this beer
This is the 6th of 38 labels we have from Brix City Brewing. It is one of 17 west coast ipa labels approved in May 2026. Its label was approved 4 days after it was submitted. The label names 2 hops — MJF Hop Blend and Simcoe, and carries dry-hopped on the front. The brand on the label is Brix City Brewing; it was brewed at TWELVE PERCENT LLC in Connecticut. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A dense ornamental composition fills the entire label with interlocking geometric and organic motifs in a psychedelic register: stylised hop cones in green and yellow, spiralling blue and cream flourishes, sun-face emblems, and interwoven botanical forms create a full-bleed pattern. The beer name "fonio wave" appears in large white bubble letters at centre, flanked by a white banner bearing "WEST COAST STYLE PILSNER" below. The regulatory and brewery information occupies a cream-coloured vertical panel along the left edge.
Brew it
The label names its hops (MJF Hop Blend, Simcoe), which is enough for a real starting point.
