About this beer

This is the 159th of 242 labels we have from Burial Beer Co. It is one of 87 west coast ipa labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label names 4 hops — Victorian Galaxy, Coleman Ag Simcoe, Eggers Hops Nelson and and jolts of Simcoe and Nelson Cryo, and carries dry-hopped on the front.

The artwork

Five figures operate computer terminals in a neon-lit cyberpunk cityscape, each framed in vertical panels across the lower half of the label. A deer-headed humanoid, a pale owl-masked figure, and three human characters with various cybernetic or surreal modifications interact with glowing screens and keyboards. The upper half shows a dense, fragmented aerial view of a futuristic city in turquoise and black, rendered photographically with sharp light artifacts and data-stream effects. The entire composition uses high-contrast black, cyan, and white with selective colour painting of the characters' skin tones and details.

From the label

“There is no right and wrong. There is only fun and boring. An adventure beyond the rules with our friends at Cellarmaker. Double dry-hopped with choice Victorian Galaxy, Coleman Ag Simcoe, Eggers Hops Nelson, and jolts of Simcoe and Nelson Cryo.”
