About this beer
This is the 10th of 10 labels we have from Black Hog Brewing Co. It is one of 88 fruited sour labels approved in July 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label carries fruited on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
The label features a horizontal split-field composition with a central coral-red band across the middle. Large white sans-serif lettering spelling "SOUR" dominates the center, while yellow and red speckled or spray-textured elements cascade from top to right across both the yellow and coral zones, creating a diffuse, particle-like border effect. The brewery name appears in bold black caps on the yellow field at right; the beer name in coral sans-serif sits above the central band. A black pig silhouette floats near the top center as the brewery emblem.
