Richmond’s eldest craft brewery, Legend Brewing Co., is refreshing its logo and the style of its beer packaging.

The brewery, which is pushing its 24th year of operations, said Tuesday it was swapping the classic Old English typography on its beer labels for a more “modernized” style.

The company is rolling out the new labels on its six packs, 12 packs and cases of beer.

Legend’s Oktoberfest will be the first beer brand to make it to store shelves with the new labels. Its Brown Ale, Lager and Golden IPA will follow. Legend will then introduce the new style to its 22-oz bottled beers.

The brewery’s unicorn icon, named Dexter Brown, remains on the labels.

Legend described the changes as a way of “adapting to the changing market” as dozens of new craft breweries have opened in the Richmond region and across the state in recent years.

The brewery said it also was improving quality control with new laboratory equipment for testing of its ingredients and finished product.

Legend has operated a brewery and restaurant in Richmond’s Manchester area since 1994. In August, it opened its first satellite location, a brewpub in Portsmouth.
