From the label“A few years back, little dad (Craig) was mixing full-strength and non-alcoholic beers in the same glass to make his own mid-strength brew. One day he told big dad (Ryan), who said, "That's genius. I love craft beer, but it doesn't love me, and I don't need extra calories. Why doesn't this exist? Let's make it." Cut to an 80s style beer-making montage and voilà, Dad Strength Brewing was born. We make super-crushable, low-ABV, low-calorie beers we think are changing the future of drinking. Try it and you'll see why we say: it's brewed for a better tomorrow.”

About this beer
This is the 5th of 5 labels we have from Dad Strength Brewing. It is one of 150 hazy ipa labels approved in August 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day.
A vertical striped gradient dominates the label, transitioning from light blue through orange and yellow to light blue again, with the beer name and style centred above in bold sans-serif capitals. Below the gradient sit two small cartoon faces — one with a moustache saying "I'm thirsty!" and one bearded saying "Hi thirsty, I'm Dad" — flanked by the calorie count "94 Calories!" in script. The centre panel contains narrative text titled "The Dadstory" explaining the beer's origin. The label repeats this central block on both sides of a symmetrical layout.
