This is the 8th of 23 filings we hold from Ever Grain Brewing Co. It is one of 64 barrel-aged stout labels approved in June 2026. It cleared 1 day after it was filed. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A large spider sits at the center of an intricate web surrounded by trumpet-shaped flowers and climbing vines rendered in fine pen-and-ink line work across a full black ground. The composition fills the entire label field in a scattered botanical pattern, with white blooms and delicate foliage distributed throughout. The beer name 'NECESSARY EVIL' appears centered below the spider in clean sans-serif capitals, with the brewery mark and name positioned below. The finish is matte with no visible coating.
