In Texas, despite positive momentum and a late push, both remaining priorities for the Texas Craft Brewers Guild (TCBG), failed to advance through the process. Interfacility Transfer (House Bill 4773) would have permitted breweries to move their beer from one owned location to another, satellite location, allowing flexibility for those small businesses; Beers for Steers (House Bill 3336) was a groundbreaking proposal that would have given an excise tax deduction for brewers who donate their spent grain to ranchers within 100 miles of the brewhouse, something they are currently doing without any incentive. Earlier in the session, Beers To You (House Bill 2441), the state’s direct-to-consumer shipping effort, failed to advance. BA staff was on hand for the TCBG’s hill climb on all three issues, and the guild utilized BA software to drum up hundreds of brewery and general public messages to the hill advocating for passage, but unfortunately these efforts fell short.
