Update on HB 2094 from Saint Arnolds

Texas craft brewers need support from Reps Geren and Hamilton The Committee on Licensing and Administrative Procedures heard testimony last week on House Bill 2094 Rep. Jessica Farrar's bill that would allow Texas microbrewers to sell their product on the premises of their breweries as part of a tour package. The state's brewers were united in their support of the bill while the distributors were split -- one group testifying in support and one against. No action was taken and the committee has discretion to vote on the bill at a future meeting -- or not. The people who understand the political cogs that make the system work have identified two specific committee members that need a little extra convincing: Representative Mike "Tuffy" Hamilton from Southeast Texas- http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/dist19/hamilton.php Representative Charlie Geren from NW Tarrant County- http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/dist99/geren.php If you live in their district or know anyone who does, please make sure these two legislators know of your support for HB 2094. Cheers!
