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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This week, TABC releases Label approvals which include the 4th Tap. These are the first label approvals for the upcoming Austin brewery. Their build out is continuing on their North Austin location with their plan to be open by the end of August…..if everything goes well. The space will feature a good size taproom. Hops and Grain is also approved for Volumes of Funk/Oak in 750ml. Yes, I will not need to say anything else. Proof and Cooper is […]

On most weeks, TABC releases Label and Brewery approvals that have been approved for sale in Texas. Every beer that is sold in Texas has to go through this process before you can see it on store shelves. This is a way to see what beer will be coming into the Texas market before it shows up at your local bottle shop or craft beer bar. The time frame between showing up on the label […]
