No you can't. I've seen the TTB permits take as long as 9 months. Mine only took 3, but that was more than 5 years ago. Current times are listed here . So figurew 2 months or less. t's possible they could have started as soon as the Bud Light thing started, but buildouts take 6 to 12 months or more, so....
They must be contract brewing with someone, so I could see they could have done a wholesaler application which looks like 20 days currently (not sure if that would allow them to sell a new brand).
Then they need COLA (label) approvals to sell across state lines. Processing times are here .
So it IS possible they could fire something up pretty fast. HOWEVER...
If it's an existing license holder, then you just do the label ( less than 2 weeks currently), and off you go. Can someone check the can pls? It's required to say who it's brewed by (this can still be a contract brewery).
EDIT: Found some sauce here which is mentioned in a few other stories online. SO, contract brewing it is. I believe it could be done fairly quickly.
ALSO, being a 4% beer, it's likely not an all grain beer, alot of macro breweries use corn syrup (bud, miller, coors) for "light" beer which makes them cheap, and usually, tasteless. Dunno, I'd have to taste one to see who good it actually is. I'm not expecting much from what I can tell
Overall, sounds like an opportunity taken to prove a point and make some money. /shrug
