About this beer
This is the 4th of 4 labels we have from Amherst Brewing / Hangar Pub & Brewery. It is one of 41 spiced / pumpkin / honey labels approved in August 2026. Its label was approved 9 days after it was submitted. The brand on the label is Amherst Brewing / Hangar Pub & Brewery; it was brewed at Broad Brook Brewing Company, HACB LLC in Connecticut.
The label is split into two fields: a bold orange left panel with white sans-serif typography reading "PUMPKIN ALE" and production details, and a cream right panel scattered with photographic pumpkins of varying sizes, each rendered with visible ridges and green stems. A black circular hop-and-wrench emblem for Amherst Brewing occupies the upper right. The composition balances typographic weight against a scattered still-life arrangement.
