About this beer
This is the 3rd of 7 labels we have from NoFo Brew Co. It is one of 56 oktoberfest / märzen 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 landscape of Bavarian countryside dominates the front label, rendered in flat colour planes with cream, light blue, and golden yellow fields beneath snow-capped peaks. A traditional village with a white church steeple and red-roofed buildings sits nestled in the middle distance, surrounded by autumn trees in rust, orange, and burgundy. The beer name "BAVARIAN ESCAPE" appears in large oxblood sans-serif capitals overlaid on the sky, with "MÄRZEN" and style descriptor below, while a circular emblem reading "PROUDLY PRODUCED IN CLEVELAND, CA" anchors the lower left, and a repeating text band ("BREADY • MALTY • TOASTED") runs across the top in white type.
