In the spirit of local business and a near equal love of morning fare and microbrews, I'm providing a quick shout out about House Bill 660! My friend Rick Engel is an owner of Uncle Billy's Brew & Que on Barton Springs Road and at Lake Travis ~ the Oasis. He and many other local microbrewery owners and employees around Texas are fueling a grassroots effort which will allow brewpubs the freedom to sell their fresh and creatively made craft beers to wholesalers & distributors. Microbreweries and pubs in Alaska, California, Oregon, New Mexico & other states are already able to legally sell their products in stores and compete against the likes of Budweiser, Miller & other corporate giants. Texans are creating some very special microbrews at Uncle Billy's, North By Northwest, Freetail Brewing Company and many other places. These creations deserve to have a greater reach.
If you'd like to purchase Texas brewpub craft beer in your favorite restaurants and retail locations, if you'd like to support small Texas Business, if you'd like to generate employment opportunities for Texans and if you'd like to generate more revenue for Texas fiscal needs - then support HB 660 today!
