The artwork

A bearded sailor wearing a naval cap occupies the centre of a circular medal, flanked by two distant sailing ships rendered in fine linework. The figure is framed by a banner that reads "SAILOR'S BLUES" at the top and "Blueberry Wheat Ale" at the bottom, with decorative scrollwork and brass rivets. Below this emblem sits a small anchor icon. The entire composition is printed in dark teal and cream against a light blue ground, with the brewery name and ornamental script lettering set above.
