One TTB agent has approved 14,000 beer labels since October
A single TTB agent currently approves all beer labels, Hogue said. The TTB has approved 13,958 individual beer label applications since October of last year. “It requires the judgment of a person,” Hogue said. Besides drug references, the government considers suggestions that a beer has positive health effects or unusual potency to be unlawful. “Representations that are obscene or indecent” are equally rejected.
That number includes keg collars, too. Curious paragraph about Budweiser Red White & Blue cans getting approval, too. ABI is careful not to associate the word ‘flag’ with these cans in any capacity.

So how does somebody like Donkey Punch get approved?!?!?!
