About this beer
This is the 47th of 50 labels we have from Cisco Brewers. It is one of 85 american pale ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 4 days after it was submitted. The brand on the label is Cisco Brewers; it was brewed at DEVILS BACKBONE BREWING COMPANY, MOUNTAIN VIEW BREWERY, LLC in Virginia.
A whale's fluked tail rises from stylized waves across the lower left of the front label, rendered in white with black linear detailing against a rich blue ground. The composition is split between the tail motif on the left panel and a central circular emblem featuring a crescent moon in white with a gold ring, surrounded by a scalloped border, also on blue. The palette is dominated by bright blue with white, gold, and black accents. Typography is bold and monumental—all-caps sans-serif in white for the beer name, with gold-coloured type for the style designation.
