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)

Fredonia – Nacogdoches (BP)
HopFusion – Fort Worth (B)

 

If it is the same label, there is no need for another label approval.

 

512 WBADPP hasn't gotten a new label approval for the one they use since something like 2012. There are still some things that I don't get about approvals - basically we all know the ABV does change, but no new approvals. I know they can be within 0.3% of the approval on the original approval to work, though.

 

Sweetwater doesn't have a distributor in Austin yet so we won't see it here.

 

This probably will be of some interest to some people. Here is how the TABC label approvals have grown over the last decade.

Pretty much why I did that - it was out of my own interest. Hell, most of the things I do are because I am curious, but might as well spend a little extra time to make it so everyone can see it.
