Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A simplified, geometric tricycle rendered in tan, blue, and cyan occupies the center of the label against a textured olive-green background that transitions to a tan band at the bottom. The bicycle is depicted in a flat, mid-century-modern style with bold outlines and minimal detail—two bright cyan wheels, a tan frame, and blue handlebars and seat. Above the tricycle, a lightning bolt and geometric symbol appear in blue and cyan. The composition is flanked by the beer name in large geometric sans-serif capitals at top left, with the style and ABV specifications in smaller type to the right, and a horizontal line of small dashes below the image.

From the label

“Our passion for bringing the best liquid to market has evolved over two decades from importing Belgian beers, to working with gypsy brewers, to opening our own brewery. In this brewery a dynamic team of brewers has emerged, and we now present their creativity and expertise in a new brand – Van Ewing; named for our founders, built by our growing family. The aim of Van Ewing is simple – a creative outlet for a world-class team of craft beer professionals who have been doing this for a very long time, but never with a unified brand of our own to truly flex our collective muscle. Until now.”
