About this beer
This is the 85th of 148 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. It is one of 73 fruited sour labels approved in August 2026. Its label was approved 8 days after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A woodcut-style desert scene dominates the front label, depicting an ostrich operating a slot machine amid saguaro cacti, scattered fruit, and gaming paraphernalia in a surreal landscape rendered in bold black line work with hand-applied colour washes in cream, tan, pink, yellow, and green. The composition spans the full bleed width with the beer name and style set in heavy hand-lettered sans-serif caps across the upper portion. A secondary landscape vignette in muted blue-green tones occupies the right panel, with regulatory type and brewery mark arranged below. The finish is matte with visible paper texture throughout.
