Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A black label dominated by two central logos: a gold-outlined hop cone circle above the text "TEMERITY ALEWORKS" in gold serif caps, and below it a white shield-and-bar emblem reading "BR" for Big Rail Brewing in black serif type. Hop sprigs flank the beer name at top and mid-label in gold line art. The beer name "The Bitter Struggle" appears in white serif caps across the lower half. Brewery information, ABV, volume, and regulatory text occupy the left and right edges in cream and white type on the black ground.
