After 11 years, (512) Brewing is packaging one of their mainstays in something other than kegs. Pecan Porter looks to be coming out in 12oz bottles. So, there is that in this month’s approvals….along with a whole slew of other approvals. 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 […]

I thought the last list of label approvals were bad (due to my procrastination), but this one was even worse. Around 600 new beers approved over 8 weeks. Along with the label approvals, 10 new Texas breweries received licenses to start up in Texas. 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 = […]

And another month has passed, so another long list of approvals. Along with that, 8 new brewpubs in Texas were approved over the last month.

I have taken a bit of a break from doing these, so here are all of May’s approvals up to this point.

The main bit of news over the last week is that Texas is one step closer to allowing beer-to-go sales from breweries. The battle now will come from the senate, which “should” be easier to get past than the house. But, this is Texas, so no one really knows. That should happen in a week or two. This week’s TABC Label Approvals: K = Keg B = Large format bottle bb = 16oz format bottle […]

A much slower week for TABC approvals than normal with very few Texas breweries getting approvals. 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 = Larger format can Abita Brewing Company L.L.C. – Abita Cirrusly Hazy Wheat Ale (b, K) Anchor Brewing Company – Anchor Artist Series Steam […]

The legislative battle over beer-to-go sales from breweries may be slowing down thanks to simple donations from specific distributors to specific people in charge. It is amazing how a little money can make someone not pass laws that actually help the small businesses of the state. You can read more about that here and who is the latest person that the distributors paid off (spoiler: it is Kelly Hancock of North Richland Hills for $33k): […]

Seems like a lot less Texas beers in this week’s approvals, but still a solid number of new beers are coming in. I believe this is the first approval that we have seen from the Bay Area’s 21st Amendment. 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 = […]
