Peticolas Brewing Company

Eighteen days after Texas’ new beer-to-go law went into effect, manufacturing brewers are reporting high levels of consumer enthusiasm for the opportunity to buy and take home packaged beers from taprooms.

The Texas Supreme Court today declined to hear a constitutional challenge brought by three craft breweries to a 2013 state law that stripped beer companies of the ability to sell their distribution rights to wholesalers. The Institute for Justice, a law firm representing the three craft breweries, called the Supreme Court’s refusal to review the case today “a blow to the economic liberty of all Texans.”

summer, Peticolas Brewing Company heads to Austin for a month long Beer Vacation. The award winning brewery begins distribution to the craft beer friendly city on July 1 and plans to take their kegs back to Dallas at the end of the month.

Land-Brewing Company is excited to announce the launch of its Supporter Series line of collaboration beers, a project that grew out of its partnership with, and support for, Columbus Crew SC.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is striking back against a ruling that had granted craft brewers the right to sell their distribution and territorial rights, according to the Dallas Business Journal.
