About this beer
This is the 44th of 63 labels we have from Ballast Point Brewing. It is one of 180 double / imperial ipa labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The brand on the label is Ballast Point Brewing; it was brewed at Alesmith Brewing Company, JDZ, Inc in California.
Two ornate sculpin fish rendered in orange, red, and cream scales dominate the right half of the label, hovering above a background of green and tan river rocks and aquatic vegetation. The fish are detailed in a naturalistic but decorative style, with elaborate fin work and patterned gill covers. The left half features the Ballast Point circular badge in white and cream against deep green, with the beer name "Imperial Sculpin" in gold sans-serif type below, while the far left panel shows a closer photographic view of the same rocky riverbed.
