About this beer
This is the 9th of 16 labels we have from Carlsberg. It is one of 111 pilsner labels approved in July 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The brand on the label is Carlsberg; it was brewed at SWEETWATER BREWING COMPANY, SWEETWATER BREWING COMPANY, LLC in Georgia.
The label centres on the Carlsberg brand name and elephant logo in dark green against a pale gold ground. 'Premium Elephant Pilsner' appears in large serif capitals below the main mark, with smaller text identifying the brewery as established in Denmark. A secondary elephant emblem and the Carlsberg script wordmark appear in the upper right; regulatory and ingredient panels occupy the lower right corner. The overall composition is symmetrical and heraldic, rendered in two-colour printing.
From the label“UNFORGETTABLE Pale gold in colour, Elephant is rich in malty character, with a hint of caramel, balanced by a satisfyingly dry bitterness. Once enjoyed, never forgotten!”
