You know the drill by now, right? I may be terrible about getting these up in a timely fashion, and just as bad about updating them on a regular basis, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t love label approvals. While these don’t guarantee that the breweries that you see below will release any of …
These are always fun for me. As breweries get approval for their labels through the Federal TTB system they also become available for me to show to you. The rub is that some breweries aren’t ready for us to see what their future plans might be – so, my solution is to hide them away …
I don’t know how interesting this is for everyone… but I love seeing what beers that our local breweries have gotten label approval for. I get a few places that don’t want me to share what they’ve got in the pipeline sometimes… so my way to sneak around that is to make a super-secret page …
It’s time for another label approval from the big guys down in OTR. As they gear up for their big Rare Beer Festival this month, they are also taking a little bit of time to keep cranking out releases (or at least label approvals). Since there is a segment of Cincinnati’s beer community that loves …
We know that MadTree loves to collaborate with their friends in the craft beer community. We’ve seen some really fun collaborative beers with Jackalope, and FatHeads hit packaging lately. But if you’ve ever spent a couple pints at MadTree’s eclectic taproom drinking – you know that they don’t like to get too comfortable with their …
One advantage of watching the TTB for label approvals is that you can get the opportunity to get sneak peeks at things that might happen. I saw these labels come through this week, and wanted to pass on you to you guys the possibility variants for this years Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout – …

I feel like we’ve been hearing it for a few years now, this idea that craft lagers are poised to become “the next big thing”. We’ve certainly got some great ones available in packaging now, and Rhinegeist might just be looking to add one more to the shelves at your favorite beer store soon. They’ve …
It got a few Rhinegeist fans (and Castle Island fans) pretty excited when the Cincinnati powerhouse teamed up to brew a beer with the young, Boston-based Castle Island. The excitement only continued to build momentum when we heard that the collaboration was going to be a 8.5%, 50 IBU juice bomb of a NE IPA …
These labels came across my desk this morning, showcasing what might be our first sneak peek at a new Yuengling Pilsner for all you fans of the oldest operating brewery in the United States. Judging by what I’m looking at, this beer will be packaged in not just bottles, but it will make it’s way …
It’s never too early for Christmas presents – or to start thinking about Christmas beers I don’t think – when this rolled through my inbox a while back I just couldn’t hold back for too long. This beer was really good last year and the thought of it making it’s way into cans got me …
There have been some fun things pop up in the TTB from MadTree in the last few months. I mean – you guys were screaming so freaking loudly that they put Dreamsicle into cans for crying out loud. In addition the rumors are flying that Pilgrim is going to be released this year (I’ll get …

I’ve been busy letting you know about new beers this week – and it’s not slowing up yet. We know that Rhinegeist is talking Funkiness for their fourth anniversary party – we’re now getting a glimpse at the centerpiece of that celebration – and with no surprise, it’s a beer! Quadrafunk With the success of …
As the weather starts to warm, our collective drinking habits tend to take a little shift too. Gone are the loads of big imperial stouts and roasty porters from our beer fridges, and enter in the Lagers, the Goses, and the Berliners. It’s one of my favorite times of year. You guys are likely familiar …
I had to do a double take early this morning, thinking that it was too good to be true. Could my drowsy eyes be deceiving my sleep deprived brain? Wooden Cask, with packaging? I did a couple double and triple takes, and was thrilled to confirm that it was in fact two labels for Wooden Cask rolling …

If you’ve been paying attention to how they’re doing their can releases, I don’t think this will be a surprise to you, but at the very least as we get these great warm days it’s a signal that summer is on its way to Cincinnati. Urban Artifact has two cans on shelves, their core ‘Finn’ …
It seemed like for a long time, this city did nothing but scream about getting Blank Slate beers into packaging, and when the cans started rolling of the line at the brewery it was a big deal of a lot of thirsty drinkers. The brewery launched the can series with two offerings (Out and About …
She’s the newest label approval, and maybe the next big bottle release that we’re going to see from the East Side brewery. They’ve been putting out some really fantastic stuff in the last year with their taproom series of bottles (you should actually head over to this link and have a look-see at what you’ve …
I know, I know – we have to start this with the standard, boring old “this doesn’t mean that they will do this, or is in any way representative of when they’ll do it.” But It’s certainly a good sign for anyone out there who is a fan of this beer. Label approval for their …
It was starting to seem like Rhinegeist was comfortable with their can lineup for a while. Bottles seemed to be all we were getting front the brewery as far as new releases go. Then almost as soon as that thought entered my brain, sort of like they were listening ot my thoughts – Rhinegeist starts …
I stumbled across this goody this week, and wanted to share it with you all. If you were a fan of last year’s “crowd sourced” IPA from Rhinegeist (it was really delicious btw) you’ll be happy to see this! The can label reads: A crowdsourced Rye IPA dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops that …
I love catching new label approvals, as they clue us in on some of the stuff that we (might) be seeing in the near future from our local breweries. This week brings a couple new additions to Rhinegeist’s Rarity Series that look to make this summer a tasty one! Of course… as always, keep in …

I know, I know… You’ve probably been bombarded by Moerlein news lately on social media, but hang in there with me on this. I wrote a bit about the new packaging news out of Moerlein about a month ago, though, if you managed to miss it then you can catch up with the first post …
Hellllooo beautiful! Word is finally out from Braxton Brewing Company as to what the second can is going to be from the Covington brewery. It’s not much of a surprise that Crank Shaft cans are going to be sitting on shelves next to their Storm Cream Ale cans, It’s hard to hide the fact that …
