Behold: the May 2016 beer labels we’ve discovered.
You can do this too, if you want! All of these are publicly available through the TTB’s website. But you don’t have to, because you have us and we’re the dorks that find this kinda stuff interesting.
All of our previous label posts can be found here.
This month’s approved beer labels for May 2016 hail from: White Oak Brewing, Solemn Oath. Lagunitas, Blind Pig, Pipeworks, Off Color, Arcade, Forbidden Root, Rolling Meadows, Black Belt, Hop Butcher For the World, Goose Island, Half Acre, Peoria Brewing Company, Pollyanna, St. Nicholas Brewing, Ten Ninety and Radium City.
Note: Just because a beer label has cleared the TTB does not mean it will be released soon, if at all. Many breweries send labels to the TTB to have them available should they decide to release a beer, or with plans to release a beer but may not be released for any number of reasons. Treat these labels as an idea of what your favorite Illinois breweries might be doing, but nothing is certain until the breweries release the actual beer.
By the way, if you’re looking for keg rings. we don’t post them anymore; they can occasionally give insight into a new beer name but generally a bunch of round things with printing on it isn’t the best visual experience. (If anything comes out that’s super interesting we may post an exception that proves the rule; we may also tweet them out separate from this post. Follow us here if you haven’t already.)
