About this beer
This is the 7th of 7 labels we have from Montclair Brewery. It is one of 47 blonde / golden ale labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 9 days after it was submitted.
A bright red field dominates the label, with a textured brushstroke or distressed edges forming a cross or plus-sign shape. The Montclair Brewery shield logo sits at the top in blue and white, centered above the word "MONTCLAIR" in a banner and "BREWERY" beneath. The beer name "ENGLAND Blonde Ale" appears in large white lettering across the centre, with "1966" and a white star below. A circular yellow badge with blue trim marked "Special Edition" sits at lower right. The composition is vertically anchored, with regulatory text and brewery information running down the left and right edges.
From the label“OUR STORY We created Montclair's first brewery with a mission to build community through craft beer — bringing people together across cultures, backgrounds, and neighborhoods. Our flavors are inspired by our roots, our travels, and the stories we love to share. You'll find our beers in our taproom and at partners throughout New Jersey and New York. With love and passion, Denise & Leo Light-bodied and refreshing, this blonde ale showcases a smooth malt backbone with a crisp, clean finish. Easy to drink and full of character without overwhelming the palate.”
