This 29 Jan 2026 update from Terrapin:

Excuse us as we reintroduce ourselves. The same beer you’ve loved for years has a brand new look, rooted in the heart and soul of the Terrapin tribe.
After two decades of the same, it was time for a refresh that tells a piece of our story, one can at a time. For our beloved Mexican-Style Lager, Cerveza, we worked with artist Brian Steely to create a newly-inspired label that Cerveza fans can genuinely connect with.
As Steely puts it, it’s “an invitation to peek into another dimension.” And what’s on the other side? Our favorite deliciously smooth lager to celebrate with, end the day with, and always come back for more of.
