DescriptionThs beer can is silver and cylindrical, with a label that stretches around the long edge of the cylinder. The label is an earthy yellow color and includes a red cityscape of Albuquerque around the bottom. The sky is abstractly depicted with a few pale chartreuse green horizontal lines. On the front of the can and toward the bottom, six red hot air balloons of various sizes hover above the horizon. Above, there is circular stamp in a light charcoal ink that sits just above the name of the beer and just right of center. The stamp states that the beer can is in celebration of the city of Albuquerque's 315 birthday. There is also the name of the label "Bearqueño" in pale yellow at the center of the can, as well as black text underneath that which repeats the birthday celebration and states that the beer is IPA. The back of the can has a red stamp which states the brewing location and the brewery's name which is the "Boxing Bear Brewing Co". On the right side of the can there is a label containing warnings and ingredients, as well as a red silhouette of the Sandia Peak Tram at the bottom next to the skyline.On View
