Texans can now buy beer and wine before noon on Sundays https://t.co/FfYHSlZsXG

It has also meant two different tax rates, and, for manufacturing breweries, holding two different licenses in order to brew styles below and above 5%.

All of that gets streamlined today as the TABC officially merges "Beer" and "Ale" into a single category!

[CraftPAC @CraftPAC_TX]

While #BeerToGo may have been the most headline-grabbing victory from the TABC Sunset Bill passed during the 2019 #TXlege, another long overdue modernization to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code contained in that bill officially takes effect today...

A post-prohibition era holdover, not only did this outdated law mean a 5.5% lager was technically considered an "Ale in Texas," but it meant brewers needed to comply with two different sets of rules for marketing practices, warehousing, and reporting for each category.

Hey @wholesalebeertx, are duopolies competitive? Asking for some friends...

[Wholesale Beer Distributors of Texas @wholesalebeertx]

Franchise laws are enacted to ensure competition in the market, and to protect each tier from undue bargaining powers from other tiers. #txlege

[Texas Craft Brewers Guild @TXCraftBrewers]

From the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, to last week's winter storm & utility crisis, these are certainly not normal times for our state or our industry. But lending a hand and supporting local communities really is 'business as usual' for Texas craft brewers.

The law would not have changed had it not been for @CraftPAC_TX. To ensure Texas Craft breweries always have a seat at the legislative table, we will be donating 10% of all #BeerToGo sales made in September to that organization.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to CraftPAC over the last week at https://t.co/3YGJHMBPR5.

With your support, we've busted through Brock Wagner of @SaintArnold's original goal of $10k & he's upped the ante to $15k! Get your contribution in by 5pm today to have it matched.

[CraftPAC @CraftPAC_TX]

The recent challenges Texas craft breweries have had while operating during #Covid19 underscore the importance of next legislative session. That's why @brockwagner of @SaintArnold is matching contributions this week from small brewers & the public at https://t.co/j2nF9NBviA.

[CraftPAC @CraftPAC_TX]

We want to commend @EddieforTexas on a campaign well fought. You have been a champion for #SmallBiz during your time in #TXlege & we look forward to your continued leadership.

Congratulations to @JudgeEckhardt on this victory in #SD14. Look forward to having you in the Senate!

[Texas Craft Brewers Guild @TXCraftBrewers]

This is just the latest lack of leadership. Two out of every three Texas craft breweries stand to permanently close this year if @TexasABC & @GovAbbott don't work together to fix the mess they've created.
