I'm trying to just get one keg collar approved so that I can fill in the style of the beer. I'm running a small brewpub and I will be switching beers out all the time, and don't want to have to get approvals on tens/hundreds of labels. Any advice on how to get this approved? Is it possible?

and received back comments on capitalizing "Surgeon General", and type size not being checked per industry circular ###........But, also the following: "EACH PRODUCT'S LABEL MUST BE SUBMITTED ON A SEPARATE LABEL APPLICATION."
I sent the following response to the COLA online help form:
"I don't understand the comment on my label application: "EACH PRODUCT'S LABEL MUST BE SUBMITTED ON A SEPARATE LABEL APPLICATION."
I would like to have a generic keg collar label for printing, and just be able to write in the style. I understand the requirements for putting "ale, lager, beer". I would be happy to add "beer" to the bottom of my label, near the fill in the blank style section if this will take care of the requirement.
I will be brewing rotating variety of beers, and would like not to have to submit hundreds of label applications. "
and received back this:
TTB does not give label approval to generic keg labels. The keg label state all of the mandatory requirements under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA) and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). To do this, all required information must be stated on the keg collar. Label approval is issued to each product's label as the products are different and may have different requirements.
Is there any way to do a generic keg collar? Can I just put "Ale" on the bottom, since that's all I'll be brewing right now?
Prost!
