About this beer
This is the 16th of 34 labels we have from Epic Brewing. It is one of 74 barrel-aged stout labels approved in August 2026. It was submitted and approved the same day. The label carries barrel-aged, imperial on the front.
A line-drawn portrait of a bearded man in colonial dress dominates the right side of the label, rendered in white and black against a dark ground. The beer name and anniversary callout are set in a mix of sans-serif fonts—cream and burnt-orange—positioned left of center, with a Southwestern geometric border pattern in orange and cream framing the entire composition. The backdrop is charcoal black with repeating diamond and zigzag motifs that suggest textile or architectural ornament.
