On your grail list. We'll tell you when it lands.This is the 13th of 56 filings we hold from Cigar City Brewing. It is one of 23 brown ale labels approved in June 2026. It was filed and approved the same day.
The label depicts a sprawling scene of Cuban imagery rendered in pen-and-ink style across a warm ochre ground: a classic 1950s sedan, palm trees, coffee cups, a traditional moka pot, scattered coffee beans, and decorative flourishes fill the composition. Large cream-coloured serif capitals announce "CUBANO" and "ESPRESSO" in the upper right, with smaller type describing the beer's character. A purple-brown horizontal band at the bottom contains the brewery's circular badge and ingredient callouts, anchoring the design.
From the label“Front label explicitly states 'CUBANO STYLE ESPRESSO' and 'BROWN ALE' in large text. Back label confirms 'This English-style Brown Ale is brewed with a heap of Cuban-style espresso beans from Tampas Buddy Brew Coffee. Vanilla and cacao are added as well, creating a bold ale that brings to mind a fine cup of Cuban coffee.' ABV 5.9% printed on front. 'Brewed and canned by Cigar City Brewing' with Tampa, FL address confirms self-production. TTB class 906 (Malt Beverage Specialties - Flavored) is consistent with a specialty brown ale with coffee/vanilla/cacao adjuncts. The explicit 'BROWN ALE' designation on the label is the primary classification signal.”
