About this beer
This is the 4th of 16 labels we have from Big Creek Brewery. It is one of 15 porter labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 2 days after it was submitted. The label carries fruited on the front.
A glossy red and gold button emblem reading "MAX BET" dominates the center of a dark blue background, surrounded by a rain of gold coins and bright magenta and cyan lightning bolts radiating outward. The composition is full-bleed and dynamic, with the electrical energy and falling coins creating a sense of motion across the entire label surface. Gold and white text for the beer name and style sit below the emblem, while the brewery name and regulatory information occupy the left and right edges. The finish appears to be a standard gloss or satin print.
