    We loyal Americans are a resilient lot, but we have our limits.

    The federal shutdown is keeping craft beer brewers from getting labels approved and without the proper labeling the beer cannot be released to market.

    ...so logically, there’d also be no one working in the “we check for beer labels” department

    And really, isn’t a beer label just another damned tax stamp?
    We should be dumping tea into Boston Harbor at this point...

    Um, perfect argument for less government.
    This. If ever there was a useless function of the federal government, this is it. Shut this down permanently. I wish the GOP would take advantage of these shutdowns to highlight all these "non-essential" services that we don't need to begin with.

    Also, I thought TABC had to approve beer labels (and it's debatable if even they should do it, but at least that's at the state level). Why are the feds even involved?

    Or drink ANY beer from a brewery that doesn't do raspberry chocolate infused IPA flavors of the week.

    Viz., the beer that's from the actual town of Budweis, not that American boiled rice and formaldehyde water:

    Love their White Wing, just haven’t seen it in a while. I think it may have been a special run.

    Shiner makes their Shiner Bock all the time, and many limited runs of specialty brews. So in the context of this thread, the shutdown wouldn't affect their Bock line, but every new limited run specialty brew.
