Celebrating the magic at the intersection of art & ales
Season-Ales
Our Season-Ales series is a collection of four unique beers featuring label artwork by a collaborating artist. Inspired by the flavors of these four distinct brews, each work of art aims to capture the essence of the season that inspired the beer while creating a captivating visual representation of what you, the drinker, will experience with every sip.

Introducing our 2026 Artist
Dylan Goldberger
Dylan Goldberger is a Brooklyn-based printmaker and illustrator who blends traditional relief printmaking, screen printing, and digital drawing to create bold, story-driven worlds. His work is packed with motion, character, and a love for subcultures like skateboarding and classic country music.
Splitting his time between studio practice and commercial illustration, Dylan’s art has landed on everything from beer cans and concert posters to skateboards and apparel. He’s collaborated with musicians like Dead & Co., Billy Strings, and Sturgill Simpson, along with brands including Nike, Vans, Thrasher, and Dogfish Head.
Rooted in craft, detail, and narrative, Dylan’s work feels handmade, lived-in, and just a little wild ... a perfect match for our Season-Ales art series.

2026 Season-Ales
Available Jan. - Mar.
Czech-Spresso
This Czech-style dark lager gets a jolt of personality thanks to some delectable coffee from our friends at Rise Up and a healthy dose of coffee malt, creating a smooth, roasty sip with just the right buzz. The result is a comforting, cold-weather beer that’s rich, aromatic and perfect for hunkering down in winter… then easing your way into early spring.
Available Apr.. - Jul.
Festina Pêche
It’s the summer ale you know and love … Festina Pêche! This tart session-sour is a refreshing neo-Berliner Weisse with bright peach notes that’s perfect for summertime sippin’.
Stay tuned for this year's artwork by Dylan!
Available Aug. - Oct.
Punkin Ale
First brewed in 1994 to win a baking contest, Punkin Ale is a full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar thanks to our brewers using real pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices.
Available Nov. - Dec.
Covered in Nuggs
Classically dank, piney and citrusy, Covered In Nuggs scratches every nook and cranny of that IPA itch. We laid down a delicious, sturdy base of hops to build a sticky heap of lupulin goodness.
Analog beer (and art!) for the digital age
Dylan's work lives at the intersection of old-world craft and modern technology. His process blends 1,000-year-old woodcut printing techniques with today’s digital painting, starting with hand-carved linework when time allows, then scanning and finishing the color digitally. A process as analog and off-centered as the Season-Ales themselves.
