About this beer

This is the 109th of 242 labels we have from Burial Beer Co. It is one of 32 double / imperial ipa labels approved in May 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label names 3 hops — Mosaic, Cryo and Incognito, and carries ddh, imperial on the front.

The artwork

A pen-and-ink drawing of a horned beast's head dominates the right two-thirds of the label, rendered in crosshatching and fine line work against a warm tan ground. The creature has a bovine snout, curved horns, and a yellow eye, set within a sparse desert landscape of cacti and rocky terrain. A ribbon banner wrapped across the lower jaw carries the beer name in hand-lettered capitals. The left third holds the beer name in oxblood caps at top, followed by descriptive text in a small serif typeface, with ABV, QR code, and regulatory information clustered below.

From the label

“Stripped of illusion. Left with only the raw architecture of being. The pursuit itself is the weight we carry. And the only release is to loosen our grip on the idea that we weren't meant to arrive anywhere at all. Mashed with oats and wheat. Whirlpooled with Mosaic pellets, Cryo, and Incognito. Double dry-hopped with 2025 hand-selected Mosaic and more Cryo.”
