While lawmakers debate over funding for the Southern Border wall and the government shutdown, across the country beer consumers and taxpayers may soon feel its effects.Breweries are preparing for their busiest seasons, but the government shutdown is delaying production of new beers. The Tax and Trade Bureau, which regulates the alcohol beverage industry, is closed until the government is fully funded. KC Bier Company managed to get the label for its spring seasonal beer approved in time for its February launch, but two dozen small batch limited edition beers planned for its anniversary celebration are on hold. “Right now, a few of those labels are in the cue with the TTB so we don’t know if we will get approval in time in order to serve those beers,” said senior marketing manager Andrew Zender. Its year-round brews are not affected. Over in the Crossroads, City Barrel is putting the finishing touches on its new restaurant and taproom scheduled to open mid-February. Only one of the four new beers the small craft brewery planned to launch with its opening were not yet approved when the government shutdown. “It’s definitely keeping me up nights,” James Stutsman, of City Barrel, said. "I assume and hope it will get taken care of but it’s definitely going to delay at least three beers when we start which is pretty frustrating to say the least.” Plan B includes collaborations with other beer producers to fill the taps.“It is thousands of dollars difference and financial benefit for me and all the 30 employees we will be hiring,” Stutsman said.
