About this beer
This is the 9th of 9 labels we have from Rip Van Winkle Brewing Co. It is one of 88 fruited sour labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted.
A bearded man in a wide-brimmed hat lies in a hammock strung between palm trees, gazing up at a crescent moon and starlit night sky in a framed vignette rendered in engraving style. Pineapples and tropical flowers cluster at the base of the frame, which opens onto a moonlit mountainous landscape with a distant waterfall. The scene is printed in navy and gold-toned inks against a golden-yellow background, with the beer name arched on a navy banner below the illustration.
