About the Design

This year’s NC Pint Day design brings the spirit of North Carolina to life through an illustrated celebration of music, beer, agriculture, and community by Asheville-based artist Sadie Tynch! Wrapped around the glass is native wildlife and botanical elements from across the state–joining hands in a joyful dance and sharing beer.

Each character represents a different region of North Carolina, from the blanket flower of the Outer Banks and the great blue heron of Eastern NC, to the black bear of the Western NC, and the acorn for the City of Oaks. A white squirrel, brook trout, red wolf, and even a playful opossum round out this lively cast of locals. And don't miss other subtle nods to our state's agriculture, wildlife, and landscapes in the background!

Our 2026 design is a visual toast to the ingredients we grow, the wildlife we share our home with, and the people who come together in taprooms across the state. It’s a reminder that NC craft beer isn’t just about what’s in the glass—it’s about where it comes from and who we share it with. Continue your collection or start it this year with our 2026 NC Pint Day!
