TABC Label and Brewery Approvals April 15 2016

The biggest news this week did not even come from TABC label or brewery approvals. Bell’s announced they plan to start distributing to Texas in 2017. While that is quite some time away, it is good to hear. Along with that, we can finally stop the 5 year long rumor that they will be coming soon.

Brewery Approvals:

Note: I have only been putting new brewery approvals here – anything that is just getting reapproved, I do not list. Along with this, any macro brewery that is approved, I do not put. An example of this would be things like a South Korean macro brewery.

(For TX breweries: B = Brewery, BP = Brewpub)

Spindle Tap – Houston (BP) – Switched from a Brewery license
Pivovar Protivin – Czech Republic
