"The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approves well over 100,000 labels per year. In these approvals you can see the bursting efflorescence of the American (and the world) economy. This blog’s mission is to review almost all of these certificate of label approvals and find the most noteworthy, amazing and cool labels among the millions. It’s a big job, and if you hear of good labels, please help us showcase them here."
