The artwork

A pastoral scene dominates the upper-middle section: a red tractor moves through a grid of furrows in a flat, cultivated field under a blue sky with white clouds, with a red barn and scattered trees visible on the horizon. The entire label employs a vertical-stripe ground pattern in cream and tan, framing the central image above and below. The Confluence Brewing Company name appears in red serif type at top-centre, with "CONFLUENCE" in large condensed caps and "BROWN ALE" in smaller red type below the scene.

From the label

“Some people say brown ales are boring. But brown is the warm soil of the heartland that feeds America. A well-worn leather chair that's seen a thousand good conversations. Roasted chestnuts, subtly sweet and satisfying on a cold evening. The oak slats of an old barn standing strong against the wind. Brown isn't boring. Brown means substance, brown means character. The kind of things that don't need to shout to get your attention. That's Confluence Brown Ale; smooth, malty, full-flavored, with just a touch of roast and caramel notes. The kind of beer made for people who appreciate craftsmanship over gimmicks. Pick up a pint and join us in a cheers to good solid beer!”
