About this beer
This is the 5th of 5 labels we have from Kettlehouse Brewing Co. It is one of 6 smoked beer labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 6 days after it was submitted.
The label is split diagonally into upper and lower halves—black above, golden yellow below—separated by a white stripe. The Kettlehouse house-shaped logo with a yellow K sits in the top-left corner in black, while the brewery name is set in white sans-serif caps to its right. A large black brush-script banner reading "Brewer's Choice" dominates the yellow field. Below, a second house-shaped badge frames "Vanilla Cold Smoke" in sans-serif caps with "Scotch Ale" beneath, all on black. The label employs a clean, geometric split-field composition with strong geometric iconography anchoring both halves.
From the label“We added Vanilla to our flagship Scotch Ale. The candy sweetness combined with the roasty flavors of Cold Smoke blend together for a smooth & rich drinking experience.”
