About this beer
This is the 7th of 11 labels we have from Progression Brewing Company. It is one of 10 kettle sour (other) labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 21 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A vibrant psychedelic scene dominates the upper two-thirds: five skeleton figures in ornate dress hold margarita glasses aloft before a stepped Mesoamerican pyramid set against a fiery orange and red sky. The skulls wear feathered headdresses and embroidered clothing in jewel tones—blues, greens, oranges, and reds—while papel picado banners in yellow and lime green hang above. The lower third features a black band with the beer name in bright lime-green sans-serif capitals, a green circular emblem at centre, and regulatory text in small type. The palette shifts from hot oranges and reds at the pyramid to cool blues and teals in the lower third.
