WINERY, BREWERY AND DISTILLERY PERMITS
Services for Wineries, Breweries and Distilleries
As the Texas market for craft beer, cocktails and wine have grown, so has interest in producing these products.
Texas wines have continued to advance over the last five years with new varietals, improved quality, new talent and increased consumer awareness.
Craft beer production has also increased over the last few years. In 2018, TABC ammended its brewery regulations to allow small producers to manufacture, distribute and directly sell product from the same location. The change benefited the craft brewery owners and caused significant growth to this industry in Texas.
Top Texas distillers Titos, Deep Eddy and TX Whiskey have become household names beyond the Lone Star State. In the last decade, the state has seen an eightfold increase in the number of permits issued to distillers, according to Texas Distilled Spirits Association, or TDSA.
LaBarba Permit Service has helped with TABC licensing issues, land use issues, zoning concerns, certificates of occupancy, as well as fire code reviews. We’ve successfully assisted Peticolas Brewery, Deep Ellum Brewery and more.
LaBarba is here to help these companies determine the permits needed and navigate complex TABC rules and regulations.
