About this beer
This is the 82nd of 146 labels we have from Great Notion Brewing & Barrel House. It is one of 10 helles labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A stylized peacock with its tail fanned fills the centre of the label, rendered in bright turquoise, gold, and cream with black outlines and shadows, standing against a solid black ground. The bird's body is rendered in teal and white with hatched detailing, while the tail feathers form a radiating burst of almond shapes in gold and orange with yellow highlights. The brewery and beer names appear in light blue script and sans-serif capitals across the upper portion, with 'Great Nation' in a flowing italic hand and 'PUFFERY HELLES LAGER' in stacked block letters.
