About this beer

False Hope Brewing Co.’s Reckoning is a strong, 11% ABV barleywine ale brewed with coconut and cinnamon. The label details a complex brewing process, utilizing barelywine as a base and incorporating both coconut and cinnamon into the recipe. The beer aims for a "some recipe" character, playing on a dystopian theme evident in the label artwork which depicts a surreal, almost nightmarish scene with an anthropomorphic rabbit-like figure surrounded by twisting branches and unsettling imagery. The description notes the beer aims to inspire rebellion against corporate overloads and societal norms—a sentiment echoed in the phrase “Life is short. Drink fresh.”

This dark, rich ale is presented in a 16-fluid-ounce can, packaged by Twelve Percent Beer Project in North Haven, CT. Beyond the key ingredients, the label also explicitly calls out “calamity” as a flavor note. A small detail on the can includes a deposit of 10¢. The artwork, designed by @dpfullustration, is striking—a slightly unsettling, full-can design featuring the same central figure repeated across the can in swirling patterns and subdued colors.
