TABC Label and Brewery Approvals May 20 2016

By / / Beer Data and Statistics

Quite a long list going for this week’s TABC label approvals. I should note for the Austin and Houston readers that we will finally be getting AleSmith in our area starting in June. So, their approvals are now relevant to our interests. With that said, Southern Star is pumping out more cans of seasonals and one offs. We also have a new brewery with Oil Horse receiving their first approvals for their Longview location. Finally,

By / / Beer Data and Statistics

More Cantillon approvals this week for the TABC label approvals, but only for kegs, and kegs that seem to have been approved some time back (at times, the TABC system can be slow at having approvals show up). Firestone Walkers Parabajava is approved for kegs, which is a delicious beer and I assume will be a pain to find even on tap. Battered Boar, another Oklahoma brewery, received their first label approvals as well. I

The biggest surprise this week, for me, is seeing Bear Republic showing back up on approvals. Bear Republic pulled out of Texas as some point last year due to the California drought, or so they say. These are the first approvals since that pull out which makes me think that they are planning on showing back up in Texas. Other notes are the Independence plans to make a Cucumber Redbud. Their original Redbud was good

Not too much movement on this week’s TABC label and brewery approvals. We have a newcomer to label approvals, though. Malai Kitchen (in DFW) received their first label approvals. This Asian restaurant has bee brewing for quite some time but has only sold their beer on site. They have recently opened up a second location which is likely why they are getting label approvals (as opposed for distribution). St. Elmo, in Austin, received their brewpub

More action on this week TABC label approvals than the week’s past. We are starting to see the first of Moody Tongue to come into Texas. Moody Tongue, from Chicago, seems to be getting a fairly solid rep up there so I have higher than usual expectations for their beer. Cans continue to be the approval of choice for many local breweries. Martin House received two new approvals this week, Community has one along with
