Austin Craft Beverage

two layers — the federal TTB Brewer's Notice and the state TABC permit — plus local zoning and certificate of occupancy; explain the order they have to happen in

producer, wholesaler, retailer as separate licensed tiers with limits on cross-ownership; explain it as post-Prohibition structure that still decides who may sell to whom

TTB label approval before the product moves in interstate commerce; explain what triggers a new COLA versus an allowable revision

rules against a producer giving a retailer anything of value to influence what they sell; give the everyday examples — coolers, glassware, tap handles, event sponsorship

different TABC permit types with different on-premise, off-premise and self-distribution rights; say the permit choice constrains the business model, not the other way round

Texas was the last state to permit it, in 2019 through House Bill 1545, and it moved real revenue from the wholesale tier to the producer's own room

define the US beer barrel and relate it to kegs and cases so the reader can translate a brewhouse size into annual output

who holds the federal permit and who owns the beer during production is the whole distinction, and it changes tax liability and label statements

federally recognised viticultural areas; name the Texas ones and explain that an AVA is a place claim, not a quality claim

explain the tiered structure and the Craft Beverage Modernization Act reduced rates, and send the reader to TTB's current rate tables rather than printing a rate

local option elections decide what may be sold by the drink or in package, precinct by precinct; explain how to check a specific address with TABC

triggered by added flavours, colours or non-standard processes; explain that it sits before the label approval in the queue

explain evaporative loss in a hot climate and the working-capital cost of holding inventory; loss rates are warehouse-specific so give the mechanism, not a percentage

explain the state-of-distillation disclosure and why 'handcrafted' and 'small batch' carry no regulated definition

self-distribution exists with a volume ceiling set in the Alcoholic Beverage Code; explain the mechanism and point to TABC for the current limit rather than stating it

on-site sales have been expanded in successive legislative sessions with limits per customer and per period; cite TABC for the current limits instead of quoting them
