TABC Label and Brewery Approvals February 12 2016

By / / Beer Data and Statistics

The clear place to start here is that the first Cantillon is TABC approved. With that said, expect 3 more to be approved in the near future. They seemed to have gotten caught up in the TABC approval for longer than most just due to inconsistent ABV testing (or so I have heard). Either way, the first one is through, there are more coming. Guadalupe Brewing (New Braunfels) seems to be starting to put out […]

Texas Beer Growth & Trends 2006 to 2015 via TABC Approvals

By / / Austin Breweries

The TABC is definitely not one of the most popular government agencies among beer fans in Texas. While their laws can be quite restrictive against beer in general (but for some reason, much looser for things like distilleries and wineries), it does provide us with some interesting data. Thanks to the system in place, I can access all of the label approvals and look at the Texas beer growth & trends from 2006 to 2015.

TABC Label and Brewery Approvals February 5 2016

By / / Beer Data and Statistics

I was somewhat expecting a brewery approval to come through from Bruery Terreux to cover all of The Bruery’s sour program, but that did not this week. I am guessing we will see that sometime in the near future. As Flood has stated, we should start to see The Bruery in March 2016 for Austin. For the rest of Texas, it is still up in the air on when they will be seeing it. This

Well, the obvious thing to start with here is that The Bruery is coming to Texas. Yes, this will also be in Austin and not just DFW (like Funkwerks, New Holland, AleSmith, etc). I have no real idea when it will show up as it still has to get label approvals to go through, so likely still at least a month out. Next, I want to call out Abita on something. How do you make

A Look at Out of State Brewery Distribution to Texas

By / / Austin Breweries, Beer Data and Statistics

Every week, it seems, more and more breweries are entering into the Texas market. I decided to create a list of every American “craft” brewery that currently has rights to sell in Texas. I should clarify a couple of TABC rules that regulate breweries coming into Texas. In order for an out of state brewery, to sell beer in Texas, they must apply for a license (as a brewery) to sell here. This costs in the area
