This will be the last label approval of the year, the TABC does not seem to be putting any new ones through this week. 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 […]

Seems like I have been running late on the TABC label and brewery approvals over the last couple of weeks. So, here is another two weeks worth of approvals. A couple things to note: – First Cigar City beer is TABC approved (made in Austin at Oskar Blues) – First Firestone Walker Barrelworks beer is approved – Hops & Grain can now sell beer to-go from their taproom This week’s TABC Label Approvals: K =

Well, I missed another week. Not due to laziness this time, but just due to there only being 30 or so last week…and felt it would be better just to leave them for another week.

It appears that the TABC has finally gotten their acts together (as far as label approvals go….everything else is still a mess). Hops & Grain received a couple of approvals within 48 hours and St. Elmo had a turnaround on one label of less than 24 hours.

Simple reason – I was out of town yet again. With that said, due to a busy late week schedule as of late, we are going to move the label release article to Tuesdays. There are a couple of reasons for it, but most of which

For this week’s TABC label approvals it looks like Spindletap may have plans for their Houston Haze to hit some level of distribution since they received approvals for those cans. Other than that, we have a new beer from Celis and the first approvals from Abilene’s Sockdolager. This week’s TABC Label Approvals: K = Keg B = Large format bottle bb = 16oz format bottle b = Small format bottle c = Small format (12oz)

So many damn approvals this week. This has to to be up there with one of the most that I have seen show up in one week. With that said, a lot of them are just in kegs. We do have some new cans from places like HopFusion, Double Horn, and Bearded Fox. All relatively newcomers onto the scene for cans.
