B
REGISTRY CODE
The Brewer license covers manufacturing beer for wholesale distribution in Texas (and the out-of-state equivalents file under other codes). New brewer filings show up the moment someone commits to a production facility.
A brewer filing is a heavy signal: tanks, canning lines, cold storage, taproom design, distribution planning. It is the earliest public evidence of a brand's existence.
For ingredient suppliers, packaging vendors and service providers, brewer filings are the top of the funnel for multi-year accounts.

Questions
Do breweries need a liquor license?+
Yes — manufacturing, storage, and sales all require specific permits, and filings are part of the public record.
What's the difference between B and BP?+
B is manufacturing/wholesale focused; BP adds on-premise retail sale with food. Most operations hold one or the other, occasionally both in related entities.
