This filing went on record 6 August 2026, before the beer reached a shelf. Check Friday's register for this house. The docket is a second, optional dispatch.
This is the 47th of 68 label filings we hold from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. It is one of 11 saison labels approved in August 2026. It cleared 10 days after it was filed. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
A woodcut-style illustration dominates the center, depicting a bearded man's face emerging from a dense forest of stylized trees and foliage, rendered in gold on a dark navy ground. The composition is framed by an ornamental art-nouveau border with scrollwork corners and banner cartouches reading "Finest Quality" and "Purest Ingredients" at the top. The beer name appears in two registers below the central image—"TRIP in the WOODS" in large letters with "Barrel-Aged BIÈRE de GARDE" in script beneath—while decorative botanical elements and vintage ornamental flourishes fill the corners and margins.
From the label“Biere de Garde is a farmhouse Ale traditionally buried for aging. A malt backbone provides body and toasty Maillard character, while its restrained European hop bill adds soft herbal complexity. Saison yeast develops delicate fruitiness before the beer is aged in both red wine and port barrels. At last, it emerges from the shadows, armed with dark fruit notes.”
