TABC Label and Brewery Approvals October 1 2015

Here are this week’s TABC label and brewery approvals. We have a couple of new breweries coming to Texas getting approvals. Cascade, likely the most known, is starting the process. I am hoping to see a lot more from them coming through over the next couple of weeks. Along with Cascade, these are the first label approvals for L.A.’s Golden Road. With that said, they first received their brewery approval a month or two ago, but was taken over by AB-InBev in September. So, that may explain this move.Also, we have 903 Brewers and a Barrel Aged Sasquatch. For those who missed it, 903 won a medal for their Sasquatch in this year’s GABF. I am assuming the Barrel Aged version will be great as well.

Lakewood and Rahr & Sons are back for their second Collaboration of Two Breweries. This time, they are coming in with a Rum Oak Aged Cherry Baltic Porter. It sounds delicious (and hopefully we will see it in Austin….but it is being distributed through Lakewood, so I cannot really say).
