About this beer
This is the 32nd of 84 labels we have from Confluence Brewing Company. It is one of 88 fruited sour labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 5 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A silhouetted figure in magenta holds aloft a glowing yellow sphere against a gradient background that shifts from yellow to hot pink, scattered with floating orbs in complementary hues. The composition is full-bleed, with a dark landscape horizon anchoring the bottom; the beer name appears in a bold yellow outlined roundel at center, with supporting text below. The palette is dominated by warm and cool jewel tones—magenta, yellow, orange, and purple—creating a psychedelic effect that extends across the entire front label. Typography is chunky, outlined display lettering for the main title, with supporting text set in white sans-serif.
From the label“POG Juice Wizard When humans first began brewing beer, the science behind fermentation was not well understood and probably seemed a bit like magic. It's likely that in those early days, microbes from the air and their wooden vessels would inoculate the wort, meaning at one time all beer was sour beer! In conjuring up a plan for this ale, we honored that natural sort of magic by culturing lactobacillus to quickly sour the whole batch. The resulting brew retains the magic of those bygone days, with a citrus-like tartness that positively sings with each sip. Of course any wizard worth the name has more than one trick up their sleeve. In this case, The Wizard has summoned a tasty tidal wave of guava, passionfruit, and oranges to create a tropical treat guaranteed to amaze and delight. Grab a pint and share in the magic with us! This series works to harness the free spirited microbes that help make beer refreshingly sour, fantastically funky, and just plain fun.”
