About this beer
This is the 4th of 16 labels we have from Big Creek Brewery. It is one of 30 amber / red ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 2 days after it was submitted.
A red Celtic heart and trinity knot enclosed within a gold horseshoe dominate the centre, flanked by stylised gold coins, set against a dark brown ground. Celtic knotwork borders frame the top and bottom edges, with profile horse heads positioned at intervals along the knotwork. The beer name appears in red serif capitals below the horseshoe emblem, with 'Irish Style Red Ale' in smaller type and gold coin symbols as ornamental separators.
