In this week’s TABC label and brewery approvals, AleSmith Brewing showed up. I, for one, cannot wait to have Speedway Stout on shelves in Texas. It is one of the best coffee stouts available (at least in the shelf beer category). Along with AleSmith, there are a couple of new breweries getting their first label approvals. Division (out of Arlington) and Back Pew (out of the Houston area) received their first label approvals for kegs. Then there are […]

In this week’s TABC label and brewery approvals, we have Live Oak Brewing being approved for their new location. It looks like they are one step closer to opening their new facility. It still sounds like it will likely be early next year before that will happen. Small Brewpub, out of Dallas, received their first label approvals. They have been making beer for some time, but this is the first that they have received label approval for. I

Here are this week’s TABC label and brewery approvals. It has definitely been a slower week for brewery approvals, as nothing was approved. On the label front, there are a couple of intriguing labels. It looks like Strange Land Brewery will be bottling their Root Beer Porter. Spindle Tap, a new brewery about to open in Houston, has their first label approvals. Then there is Freetail Brewing who is getting ready for their La Muerta yearly release. This

Here are this week’s TABC label and brewery approvals. We have couple of new Texas cans, some of the remaining Ninkasi, and Real Ale looks to be having a new beer coming out. Along with those, Bourbon County Proprietor’s bottle has received label approval. I am questioning if we will actually see this in Texas, but it could just be for festivals. Then there are definitely the winter and pumpkin beers starting to show up in

Here are this week’s TABC label and brewery approvals. We have a couple of new breweries coming to Texas getting approvals. Cascade, likely the most known, is starting the process. I am hoping to see a lot more from them coming through over the next couple of weeks. Along with Cascade, these are the first label approvals for L.A.’s Golden Road. With that said, they first received their brewery approval a month or two ago, but

These TABC Label and Brewery approvals are a little later than my usual Friday posting. Basically, the Great American Beer Festival got the best of me, and this came in delayed. But, here they are! There are a couple of interesting ones on here. BS Brewing looks to be releasing their first cans, along with Seguin Brewing planning on releasing 12 oz bottles instead of bombers. Texas Beer Refinery is coming out with 22 oz

On this week’s TABC approvals, Prairie received their anniversary approvals, Busted Sandal is going into canning, and another good brewery from California is coming to Texas. Along with those, Back Pew Brewing (near Houston) received their brewery approvals, and Cibolo Creek Brewing (in Boerne) received their brewpub license. This week’s TABC Label Approvals K = Keg B = Large format bottle bb = 16oz format bottle b = Small format bottle c = Small format (12oz)

You may have noticed that the TABC label approvals skipped a week last week. It happens, there was just nothing that came through for approvals. However, there was a brewery that was approved last week, and it is a great one. AleSmith is now approved in Texas. While we will likely not get a lot of their barrel aged offerings, their standard Speedway Stouts is one of the best stouts around. It goes along with
