About this beer
It's the only label we have from Venture Brewing. It is one of 47 blonde / golden ale labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 6 days after it was submitted. The label names one hop, Aztec. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A cartoon rat reclines in a yellow beach chair beneath a palm tree at sunset, holding a drink in one paw and gesturing with the other, with a beach ball and flip-flops scattered nearby on sand. The scene spans the label's full width in a bright, saturated colour palette dominated by golden yellow and peachy sand tones, with deep teal water and dark tree silhouettes framing the composition. The beer name appears in bold white caps across the top, with 'BLONDE ALE' below in smaller yellow capitals. The left panel repeats the name vertically in a stacked, geometric sans-serif style.
From the label“Whether you're an entry-level craft drinker or a seasoned enthusiast, this beer—named in honor of our lovely locals—will make you feel right at home. Brewed with Aztec hops, it features subtle notes of citrus zest and a soft floral finish that keeps it crisp and refreshing.”

The label names its hops (Aztec), which is enough for a real starting point.
