Grails are watched nightly — you get word the morning this one is first seen. Every Varietal Beer Company filing? Follow the brewery.
This filing went on record 27 May 2026, before the beer reached a shelf. Every week's new filings, read and delivered Tuesday morning.
This is the 2nd of 12 label filings we hold from Varietal Beer Company. It is one of 42 hazy ipa labels approved in May 2026. It cleared 5 days after it was filed. The label names 6 hops — Citra, Citra Cryo, El Dorado, Krush Lupomax, Loral and Motueka, and carries ddh, hazy on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A pen-and-ink engraving of an otter floats across the centre of the bright green label, rendered in dark green linework with fine crosshatching and flowing water lines beneath. The beer name appears in two weights below the illustration — hand-lettered kana characters above bold sans-serif capitals — with the style descriptor and regulatory text set in clean left and right panels. The label is dominated by the luminous lime ground, which extends edge to edge, against which the otter's detailed fur texture and whiskers read with sharp contrast.
From the label“UNFILTERED BEER. KEEP COLD. DRINK FRESH. OR ELSE.”
