Twitter: @andrewlschwab Untappd: aschwab My craft beer journey started sometime in university when light beer just was not cutting it anymore. I started venturing out to the beer store and buying any 6 pack that I had not had before. This has now continued for ten years. You will see me visiting almost any and every brewery that I can. I have a passion for travel, craft beer, and college football. When I am not drinking craft beer, I work as a manufacturing engineer in Austin.

TABC Label and Brewery Approvals August 28 2015

This week’s TABC label approvals have some new breweries. One, located in Georgetown, will be having their grand opening this Saturday – Rentsch. The other are the first labels from Stillwater. Along with those, more Evil Twin beers are now approved. Since it is fall and a little over a week away from college football season, it appears we may have the official beer of A&M football from Brazos Valley, or at least I am […]

Evil Twin Brewing Hipster Ale

TABC Label and Brewery Approvals August 20 2015

Some of you may notice that this one was released on Thursday instead of the usual Monday. I am thinking that we may be changing the date of the articles to Thursday so we can get most of the weeks stuff covered on the week of. It may switch back, but for now, I think I may go this route. With that said, there are some interesting things on this week’s approval. 8th Wonder is

Rahr & Sons - The Fort Worth

TABC Label and Brewery Approvals August 9 2015

There are a lot of TABC approvals this week. It is probably partly my fault the list is longer than it should, but partly I blame the TABC. Some have been slipping through, so I have thrown them on the end of this list. I don’t think this will happen in the future, but we shall see (now that I am keeping an eye out for it). You will also notice a large amount of

Live Oak - Hefeweizen Ale

TABC Label and Brewery Approvals August 3 2015

There are some big ones on this week’s TABC releases. I will begin with probably the biggest – Live Oak in cans. Yes, it has been known to be happening for some time, but they now have approval. I doubt we will see them until the new brewery is completed next year, but they are approved and look great. Whole Foods is starting to distribute their house beers which are brewed at their Houston Post

This week, we have one major brewery get approval to come to Texas, Cascade Brewing. This Portland brewery is best known for their great sour beers, which will be another great addition to the shelves of Texas. No word on date of their arrival, as they still all need label approvals, but it will definitely be something to look forward to. Here are all of the brewery approvals this week: Cascade Brewing Company – Portland
