- Top 18%: overlay headline — BN Kragen Bold, off-white on Go Black #121212. The "👀" emoji at end of line in Sunbeam Gold #E6A726.
- Middle 64%: Forbes article-style mock with the Forbes logo (MISC-generic brolls/Forbes-logo.png) + a hero photo of the Sunbeam can (Can photo renders unedited for PSD AI Lifestyle/) + a styled article cutline.
- Bottom 18%: SKU spec line — BN Kragen Bold, off-white.

Forbes article mock:
- Top: Forbes mark left, "FOOD & DRINK" tag, generic byline + date
- Hero image: Sunbeam Pils can on a clean surface, soft natural light, 70% width
- Article paragraphs (legible Lorem-style placeholder, dropcap on first paragraph) — gives it editorial native feel without overclaiming a specific quote

- Forbes coverage of Go Brewing exists SPEC press list. Do not fabricate a specific Forbes quote on the article body — keep article body as Lorem placeholder text or pulled from real published Forbes coverage of Go Brewing (verify with marketing before ship).
