Here are the TTB approved November 2017 Beer Labels from Illinois breweries.
Each week (or thereabouts) we pore over a database of beer labels approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, or TTB, to bring you new, reworked or re-branded beers from brewers across Illinois (and sometimes Northwest Indiana) before they hit store shelves. This month: The November 2017 Beer Labels for IL.
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.
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.
This month’s available labels include new looks from: Afterthought, Begyle, Lionstone, Sketchbook, Off Kilter, Rolling Meadows, Hop Butcher, Whiner, Moody Tongue, Tighthead, Hopewell, Solemn Oath, White Rooster, Tangled Roots and Main St. 4204.
(On the off chance you’re looking for keg rings [which are also approved by the TTB], we stopped posting those quite a while ago. Why? Well, 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, so we focus on new package labels in these posts.
If anything comes through the TTB that we consider super interesting or newsworthy, we may post an exception that proves the rule; we would likely also tweet them out separate from this post. Follow us here if you haven’t already.)
