About this beer
This is the 21st of 23 labels we have from Afterglow Brewing. It is one of 74 lager (other/unspecified) labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 6 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
Nine caricatured male figures in comic-inked style dominate the left two-thirds of the label against a dark blue background with purple and blue light effects. The figures are rendered in tan and ochre skin tones with varied facial hair and clothing in black, yellow, orange, and purple; one is drawn as a clown character with exaggerated features. The right panel contains the Afterglow Brewing logo with a hop illustration at top, the beer name "NÜZEALAND LAGER" in large orange sans-serif and blue script, and regulatory details in black type on a white circular ground. The overall effect is a split-field composition with illustrative content bleeding across a darkened photographic or digitally rendered background.
