I forget which law or which state was causing issues with beer labeling. Whichever one prevents putting the ABV on the bottles...saying something about how it might influence people to get drunk faster or something like that.

To me that affects craft brewers because they're not allowed to print ABV on the bottles. (they like to provide as much information as possible on their bottles)

Now BL Platinum comes out with 6.0% in freaking BOLD font as if it is their main selling point and they're allowed to do that.


Sorry for the rant.

Texas, for one. You could not advertise the ABV. The Jester King v TABC ruling changed that, and the TABC is trying to find ways to go about a new method. Open The Taps has a good article here about it

Many states do allow it already, but that particular packaging would not have been allowed in Texas before the ruling
