Jacob McKean, CEO and Founder of Point Loma’s Modern Times Beer, explains that a government shutdown can bring the improvement of the beer industry to a screeching halt. “For better or worse, the TTB regulates a lot of what smaller breweries do, including approving labels for new beers,” says McKean. “Without labels moving through the approval process, many breweries won’t be able to release a new beer, which is terrible news for brewers and beer drinkers alike.” Submitted by: Unknown Tagged: Sad , government shutdown , beer , funny , after 12 , g rated
