October 2026 · 26 qualifying pale ale labels approved Oct 1–15, 2026
Mid-month count: 26 qualifying pale ale labels from 23 breweries, approved Oct 1–15, 2026.
Packaging: 19 can, 7 keg.
Median ABV: 5.3%, from the 23 with an ABV on file.
September 1–15, counted the same way, had 17.
The list follows Hop Grail's ordering rule. In order: an editor pin, a date the brewery gives in its own newsletter, any other mention in that newsletter, a news or seasonal piece on file, label completeness, then the newest approval date. A higher filing ID breaks any remaining tie. Labels qualify on the register's style tag. Exclusions include conflicting printed styles, repeat filings of one beer, a brewery's fourth and later filings, editorial skips, a relabel of a beer approved before this month, and filings that are held or taken down.
An approval clears a label; it isn't a release date.
