About this beer
This is the 2nd of 4 labels we have from Forbes Trail Brewing Co. It is one of 42 spiced / pumpkin / honey labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted.
A watercolour pumpkin in cream and burnt orange sits centered in the lower half of the label, with hand-lettered script reading 'Puffy Vest' above it in black and orange, followed by 'PUMPKIN PORTER' in bold orange sans-serif capitals. Twining green vines with golden-brown leaves curl across a pale grey-green quilted fabric background that mimics the texture and appearance of a puffy winter vest. The composition frames the pumpkin as a central emblem against the soft, padded-cloth field.
