On your grail list. We'll tell you when it lands.This is the 49th of 116 filings we hold from ESS Hospitality NYC/HV. It is one of 101 american lager / light lager labels approved in June 2026. It cleared 1 day after it was filed. It was brewed under contract — TWELVE PERCENT LLC holds the permit, which is ordinary in the register and easy to miss on a shelf.
The label centers on the beer name "Queen City Tough" in large gold Old English lettering beneath a gilt crown, set against a black field. Decorative gold flourishes curl around the text, and a smaller crown symbol appears at the lower left. The tagline "A Clean & Crispy American Craft Lager" is rendered in script below, with "CRAFT BEER NOT CRAP BEER" in small caps across the top. A heraldic beer bottle graphic rendered in copper and gold tones occupies the left edge.
