About this beer

This is the 2nd of 7 labels we have from Elm Creek Brewing Co. It is one of 180 double / imperial ipa labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 5 days after it was submitted. The label names 3 hops — Citra, Freestyle Manilita and Freestyle Nelson Sauvin, and carries hazy, dry-hopped on the front.

The artwork

A psychedelic swirl of fluid organic forms fills the front label in bold reds, magentas, yellows, greens, and blues, rendered with thick black outlines that create a sense of motion and interplay. The composition features abstract wave-like shapes and amorphous blobs in warm and cool tones layered across the full bleed. The beer name "HYBRID MINDS" appears in outlined sans-serif caps across the centre, with the Lua Brewing tree emblem and brewery marks positioned within the flowing design. The label employs a dark navy or black background to intensify the chromatic saturation of the foreground palette.

From the label

“Brewed with malted wheat and flaked oats. Hopped in the whirlpool with Citra, then dry hopped with Citra and Freestyle Manilita hops and topped off with a dose of Freestyle Nelson Sauvin Hop Keif. Intense aromas of citrus, vanilla, pink grapefruit, mango and nectarine. All Elm Creek Brewing Co. brews are crafted by hand near the shores of the Mississippi River in our hometown of Champlin, MN. With twelve beers tapped daily, you're sure to find one to quench your curiosity.”

The label names its hops (Citra, Freestyle Manilita, Freestyle Nelson Sauvin), which is enough for a real starting point.
