About this beer
This is the 4th of 6 labels we have from Tonewood Brewing. It is one of 77 american pale ale labels approved in August 2026. Its label was approved 2 days after it was submitted. The label names 3 hops — Citra, Mosaic and Riwaka. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A detailed pen-and-ink illustration dominates the centre, depicting a skeletal hand holding a trowel surrounded by botanical elements — flowering plants, wheat, and radiating geometric ornaments — enclosed within a rectangular frame built from stacked letters spelling 'REFRET'. The composition is symmetrical and densely patterned, printed in white linework against a black ground. Wheat-stalk emblems appear in the upper corners and along the left edge; the brewery's 'Second District' logotype and 'Beer for Life' tagline anchor the composition at top and sides.

The label names its hops (Citra, Mosaic, Riwaka), which is enough for a real starting point.
