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

The artwork

A full-bleed photograph of gnarled tree roots fills the front label, rendered in deep purple with golden veining that catches light across the organic texture. The beer name appears in two weights of sans-serif type — "ROYAL" and "ROOTS" in large tan caps, "ENGLISH-STYLE PORTER" in smaller navy caps — stacked within a white rectangular frame at centre, with a circular brewery medallion and wheat-ear motif below. The background photograph dominates the composition, creating depth and tactile presence behind the typography and frame.

From the label

“Long before airline check-in counters, the folks who carried travelers' bags and cargo to and from trains and boats were called "porters." In early 18th century England, these porters favored a newly developed style of beer that was dark in appearance and well hopped for the time. The porters enjoyed it so much that the style was named after them, and its production quickly spread from the British Isles to as far away as Russia and North America. Royal Roots is our homage to those early English beginnings, boasting a complex malt bill that produces characters of sweet caramel, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate. English yeast and English hops add notes of orchard fruits, floral aromatics, and a slightly earthy balance that makes our porter the perfect beer to unwind with after a long hard day of work. Swing by after your next shift and join us for a pint. Cheers!”
