Do you ever find yourself staring at a beer label, and wondering, what exactly IS that? This happens to me once in a while. Like today. See if you can help me out here:
Looks alright from far away.
Let's zoom in. Ok, here on the left we have what looks like grain.
Iconic beer label imagery.
Maybe those splotches represent all the natural yeast that made this saison possible.
On the right side: more grain.
Still pretty normal.
Style points for scrollage.
When I think of 'artisanal,' I think 'original,' 'hand made,' 'crafted...'
But look real close at the end of the letter 'L.'
A hand (with knuckle hair?) reaches up from the scroll.
The hand is holding some tape.
The tape is taping up..... another hand?
But nothing is holding the other end of the tape down! How is it not unravelling?
There is a brain in the background.
Remember those splotches I thought were wild yeast?
Not yeast.
But the Devil is in the details. Literally.
Here he is, creeping up from the bottom of the label, only a few millimeters wide.
What is HE doing here?!
Interesting saison made from spelt? Yes.
Label as wild as the yeast? Yes!
