This week’s TABC approvals seems to be about a lot of new cans. True Vine, Live Oak, Texas Ale Project, Independence, and Real Ale all have new cans approved. Cans tend to be my favorite vessel to drink a beer from, so I approve of this.

Did I mention more Live Oak cans. Yes. Berliner Weisse and Primus. We can all be happy now.

Also, I took a position with Goose Island as a sales rep and will not be doing TABC any longer due to conflict of interest.

On a side note, Barrow Brewing is officially opening their doors on Friday (4/1) for business. They are located in Salado, which basically can be a good stopping point if you are traveling between DFW and Austin. Their future hours will be Thursday/Friday 4-10, Saturday 12-10, and Sunday 1-6.

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)

Amager Bryghus – Denmark
