About this beer
This is the 2nd of 5 labels we have from Michael Waltrip Brewing Co. It is one of 47 blonde / golden ale labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 15 days after it was submitted. The brand on the label is Michael Waltrip Brewing Co; it was brewed at New Sarum Brewing Co LLC in North Carolina.
A blue marlin leaps diagonally across the upper half of the label, rendered in navy, orange, and white with dynamic line work emphasizing its musculature and sail-like dorsal fin. Behind the fish, a topographic contour map in light grey fills the background. The beer name appears in bold sans-serif capitals at centre, with "SPORT FISHING CHAMPIONSHIP" and "SFC" integrated into the lower composition, while the brewery shield and tagline occupy the left side. A dark navy band runs across the bottom third, containing regulatory text and brewery information.
