The wait for an ok to do a beer label is what caught my attention. I'm not convinced that we really need DC bureaucrats to survive that decision.

Have you got your brewery permits? Opening when?

Right now we're waiting on our SBA loan approval - or rather we were. Sean, I feel for ya man. We're on a similar timeline as far as opening. I was telling my wife the other day how lucky we are that we started the SBA application process when we did. We were approved in mid-September and closed on our loan shortly afterward. At least we were able to order our equipment with the proceeds. But we still need to get our Brewer's Notice application in. It's all ready to go, but there's no one to process.

I remember reading on probrewer that someone wanted to get a kind of generic keg/tap label approved for their brewpub so they could do new styles more quickly, but it was denied. Do you only need TTB approval if you're selling out of state?

Unless beer is being sold in interstate commerce, the feds have no authority to regulate it. Thanks to the 21st Amendment, the individual states retain exclusive control over alcohol regulation if the alcohol stays within their borders.
