About this beer
This is the 2nd of 2 labels we have from Lower Lake Brewery. It is one of 39 amber lager / vienna labels approved in August 2026. Its label was approved 5 days after it was submitted.
A skeleton in a jaunty pose holds a spear and a bunch of grapes aloft while balancing on a stylized black teardrop or seed shape that occupies the center of the label. The skeleton is rendered in black line work with crosshatched shading on the ground beneath it, set against the burnt orange field. The beer name and style sit below the figure in italic script, flanked by regulatory and brewery information in various weights of sans-serif type arranged vertically along both edges.
