TTB Ruling 2013-1 states that brewers are not required to obtain a certificate of label approval (COLA) in order to bottle or pack malt beverages . The regulations do not require a brewer to obtain either a certificate of label approval or a certificate of exemption for a domestically bottled malt beverage that will be sold exclusively in the state in which it was bottled.

Brewers still have to comply with all applicable marking, branding and labeling requirements under 27 CFR part 25 for all beer removed from the premises and include the health warning statement requirements imposed by the Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act with regard to alcoholic beverages manufactured or bottled for sale or distribution in the United States.
