National Beer Day may not be an “official” holiday; however, it is celebrated by beer lovers across the United States every year on April 7th. Why is this date so important to beer lovers you may ask? It’s the date the repeal of prohibition was officially enacted after being singed in the law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, and to celebrate, people everywhere took to the streets to enjoy a beer. So what […]

This week’s TABC Label Approvals: K = Keg B = Large format bottle bb = 16oz format bottle b = Small format bottle c = Small format (12oz) can cc = 16oz format can C = […]
This is a guest post by J. Darris Mitchell. Ah… There is no event truer to the DIY nature of craft beer than Party World Rasslin’ seasonal wrestling shows at the 4th Tap Brewing Cooperative.

As a neighborhood brewery, how do you expect the new stadium and team to impact your business? 4th Tap Brewing Cooperative | John & Erin Stecker, Co-Founders “We are very […]
This is a much shorter list than previous weeks, I do not quite know the reasoning (seems to be about a third of what is normally approved). It could just be the TABC being the TABC…..
