Texas house bill 1062/SB 754, if passed will allow microbrewers to sell their product on the premises of the brewery. Such sales are currently allowed for winemakers, but not for brewers.

Send E-mail/letter, or phone to your Texas state Rep and Senator to support passage of HB 1062/SB 754. Find out who represents you here.

Here's some quick and easy text:

[Rep name]... as Representative for my district, I'm writing you this short note to request your support for House Bill 1062, written by Rep Lon Burnam, and is essentially a Texas Brewers Parity Ammendment (i.e. allowing specific holders of brewer's permits to sell ale and malt liquor from their premises). Allowing this avenue to Texas brewers opens considerable opportunities for our state; including the development of more breweries, which leads to job-creation, as well as continued sustainability and growth of those existing breweries, both important for continued economic growth. I've been to states where this is already being done (such as California and Colorado), and it is amazing what this one simple allowance is able to create from a market and culture perspective. Please support this bill; and/or please tell me how I can further support its passing.

Yours truly,

[Your Name]
