About this beer
This is the 6th of 16 labels we have from Big Creek Brewery. It is one of 30 amber / red ale labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted.
A symmetrical Celtic knot emblem dominates the centre, formed by a red heart and interlocking cross in the upper portion and a four-lobed cloverleaf below, both rendered in deep red with gold outlines and set against a gold shield. The emblem is flanked by Celtic knotwork borders in gold running horizontally across the top and bottom of the label, with stylized horse heads at cardinal points. The composition sits on a deep brown field with the beer name in red serif caps below the emblem, flanked by gold circles, and a gold band at the bottom edge.
