From the label“We just pitched a tent and threw some wood on the fire - it could be yours if you want it. We'll have you sayin' "this one time at Camp Cluster..." In no time. -Alvarium Crew Brewed with vanilla graham cracker, chocolate, peanut butter and smoked malt. Thanks for picking up this can; clearly you have good taste and/or an attraction to shiny objects! By holding this can, you have inadvertently formed a bond with it and imprinted a piece of your soul inside. Putting the can down may cause emotional damage to the contents; causing it to act out against future drinkers. Please keep your new friend cold and consume fresh for maximum happiness! Dispose of empty husk in recycling bin. No tears, it had a rich fulfilling life with you and nobody can take that away.”

About this beer
This is the 2nd of 5 labels we have from Alvarium Beer Company. It is one of 38 pastry stout labels approved in August 2026. Its label was approved 4 days after it was submitted. The label carries imperial on the front. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A chaotic campfire scene dominates the label's centre, rendered in comic-inked style with orange flames engulfing brown tent fabric and wooden logs, surrounded by cartoon marshmallows and hands emerging from the fire in exaggerated distress. The beer name appears in bold outline lettering across the flames, flanked by smaller regulatory text and brewery information on a brown field. Colour palette is chocolate brown, golden yellow, cream, and black, with a bright coral band at the base containing the alcohol statement. The finish is matte with no visible special treatment.
