Texas Label Approvals - April

Knew fritz was coming ever since Brandon got Fruit. Knew it!

 

Two days after the bitching about VIP treatment begins.

 

Did that No Label approval make anybody else cringe?

 

Depends on if/when there is an infected batch.

Are you trying to suggest that vanilla noir wasn't infected even though prairie said some of it was? Or are you suggesting that people shouldn't talk about it here even though this is a message board dedicated to discussing beer?

 

So when would we typically see these hit stores?

 

Do any of us really care?

 

Anderson Valley has named a few beers "barl" before. I don't think this is a mistake.

Of all the breweries to attack, No Label is an odd one. I mean, sure, nothing they've made so far has been stellar (unless, like me, you love Don Jalapeno, but I recognize this is a minority opinion), but nothing they've made so far has been offensive either.

And also they're good people. Your comment makes me cringe a lot more than them branching out and trying a new hop.

 

Depends on which beer you're talking about.

 

Definitely Berliner Weisse, but might not be Frtiz b/c Fritz is only 5% I believe

 

I thought Perpetual Peace was stellar.

 

I freaking LOVE Don Jalapeno!

 

1809 is fritz, right? I just had some of this last week.

 

I think Professor Fritz is the producer, and maybe the TABC testing is off.

 

Im confused here, maybe the distributor can chime in. The label has 8.7 printed on it, everything I've seen of this has it at 5%. New recipe or just a label anomaly?

 

Probably talking about the unnecessary 20 pages of Noir talk we had.

 

I'll let the beer speak for itself, I do want to point out there is already an Azacca SMaSH IPA on Houston tap's that is awesome!

 

My main problem was that people then started talking about every single Prairie beer being infected, which was going way overboard. All of a sudden all of the vanilla, as well as all the regular noir and the coffee noir were infected too, which was crazy.

 

David Walker said they will get new label approval every year as each batch is different and can change by more than 0.3%, which is apparently the TABC threshold. So you'll see new label approvals for Sucaba, Parabola, and all other FSW "proprietor's series" beers.

 

Oh gosh you're right. I somehow forgot about that. Perpetual Peace was stellar.

Yup, I had a bit at Growler[unnecessaryapostrophe]s the other day and was impressed, as expected. Quite a lot of floaties, but that might just be the pour I had. I look forward to get more later.
