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.

With that said, I will be compiling some stats/data regarding label approvals over this year in an article sometime in the near future. It is interesting to see the numbers of approvals that have gone through, formats, and who generally is putting all the approvals through. On this week’s, we do
