About this beer
This is the 78th of 139 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. It is one of 87 west coast ipa labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 4 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A bearded man in a light blue shirt operates a green forklift laden with purple hops, rendered in comic-book inking with bold outlines and crosshatching throughout. The forklift and operator occupy the full height of the front label in a three-quarter view, anchored at the bottom by a stylized shadow. The palette is dominated by greens and golds with purple hop accents and flesh tones, while the beer name is split across the upper left in a large sans-serif weight hierarchy—"Great Notion" in script, "FRESH HOP EASY LIFT" in block capitals—with "WEST COAST IPA" in smaller type below. The back label carries the brand name vertically in script and regulatory information in standard type.
