About this beer
This is the 7th of 8 labels we have from Ellicottville Brewing Co. It is one of 85 american pale ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted.
A densely packed illustration of Buffalo sports fans and cultural figures fills the entire front label, rendered in a comic-book inked style with hundreds of small cartoon characters wearing team colours, holding foam fingers, jerseys, and sports memorabilia across both an urban grey streetscape and green grass field. The composition is a full-bleed scattered pattern of overlapping figures — faces, children, mascots, and crowd scenes — arranged chaotically across the label surface. Ellicottville Brewing Co. and the beer name appear in bold sans-serif typography centred over the illustration, with a dark navy banner reading "INDIA PALE ALE" and "IPA" below. The palette is dominated by bright royal blue, red, white, green, and flesh tones with black outlines throughout.
