About this beer
This is the 2nd of 2 labels we have from Künstler Brewing. It is one of 180 double / imperial ipa labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 6 days after it was submitted. The label names 5 hops — Columbus, Citra, Simcoe, Krush and Eldorado. The brand on the label is Künstler Brewing; it was brewed at Kuenstler Brewing LLC in Texas. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
An aircraft cockpit control panel dominates the label's center, rendered in photographic detail with illuminated instruments, switches, and displays against black. Above the panel sit two horizontal photographs of sunrise or sunset horizons in orange and blue tones, framing the cockpit view like windows. The Künstler Brewing logo and beer name appear in the upper left in condensed sans-serif type; descriptive text and regulatory information occupy the left and right margins in small orange capitals. The entire composition is set against a deep black ground with no visible print finish.
From the label“Dedicated to aviators—the military crews, cargo pilots, airline professionals, and everyone else who spends their days above the clouds while the rest of us track packages like a part time job, wonder if our bag is overweight, scope out the remaining overhead bin space, and debate whether we really needed that third airport beer. (We did.) Big hop payload. Smooth landing. Welcome to Final Approach.”

The label names its hops (Columbus, Citra, Simcoe…), which is enough for a real starting point.
