No Label Brewing Co., recently earned high honors for a handful of its most adventurous brews at an industry awards ceremony March 18 in New York City.

No Label Brewing, at 5351 1st St., brought home more hardware for its trophy case from the recent New York International Beer Competition, besting more than 700 entries across 30 categories from 15 countries in one of the beer world’s most popular events.

The working-class-celebrating brew Hard Hats & Six Packs (4.5% ABV, 18 IBU), a Japanese rice lager, won gold honors. Don Jalapeño (6.0% ABV, 17 IBU), the brewery’s jalapeño-infused collaboration with the world-renowned Blood Bros. BBQ from Bellaire, took home silver honors. The ale features peppers sourced and smoked on location at Blood Bros., then delivered hand-to-hand to No Label for boiling and brewing.

“This beer represents the friendship between our two companies, and I just could not be any happier about this win,” Tom Paynter, No Label co-owner and creative director, said.

The sturdy Cali Boy West Coast IPA (7.5% ABV, 90 IBU), and the flavorful El Carlito (8.3% ABV, 22 IBU), its Weizenbock, took home Bronze honors.

“We won a World Beer Cup award last year for Cali Boy West Coast IPA, and then we were blessed with a second accolade for it,” Paynter said. “It's very humbling. It recharges our team's beer batteries, and it's just terrific to bring more attention to Katy. We’re now on a mission to aggressively push our beer into the Dallas and Austin areas."

No Label will soon enter the Austin and Dallas areas with two new collaborations. Team No Label is pairing with Austin's Meanwhile Brewing for a mystery brew that will be previewed at Wild West Brew Fest April 7 in Pflugerville and their respective taprooms. An additional collaboration with Denton County Brewing will be available in late spring.

"Bringing our beers to the rest of Texas is incredibly important for our brewery, but making collabs with all these breweries along the way makes it just so much fun,” Paynter said.
