About this beer

This is the 42nd of 63 labels we have from AleSmith Brewing Company. It is one of 117 american pale ale labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 3 days after it was submitted.

The artwork

The label features a large typographic treatment of the beer name ".394 pale ale" in bold, sans-serif numerals and lowercase letters in red and gold, dominating the left-center field against a cream ground. Below the main type, a circular emblem rendered in red and gold contains a simplified silhouette of a baseball batter mid-swing, referencing the beer's numerical nameplate. The composition is anchored by horizontal stripes of orange and gold at top and bottom, with the ALESMITH brewery name and location set in a dark brown banner across the upper portion. Type treatment uses condensed sans-serif caps for the company name and descriptive text in red and gold against brown and cream grounds throughout the design.

From the label

“AleSmith San Diego Pale Ale .394 pays tribute to the city that Tony loved and the career-high batting average that he achieved in '94. Discover what happens when a Hall of Fame perfectionist crafts a beer with a world-class brewery. The result is a golden pale ale with bright citrus and tropical fruit notes, a subdued bitterness, and a malty sweet finish.”
