By / / CBA, Craft Beer News, Features, Women in Beer

We have a new look thanks to our good friends over at 50 Foot Websites & Branding. I caught up with co-founder Martha Dixon to learn more about their business. What’s behind the name 50 Foot Websites & Branding? Martha is a big woman! Martha chose the name based off the poster for the 1950’s movie “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”, our name is actually a nod to the original poster designer William Reynold

UPDATE: No, it did not. Apparently TABC released guidance that things will remain the same for Texas breweries and bars: “You should continue to operate as you have been operating in recent weeks. The order does not create a new special authorization to conduct pickup and delivery if Texas statutes do not currently allow your business to do so.” Today marks the first day of retail to-go under Governor Abbot’s GA-16 order signed on April

TABC Label and Brewery Approvals April 15th, 2020

By / / Austin Breweries, Beer Data and Statistics

What better time to jump-start the TABC label approval post than when being stuck at home during quarantine? So, I had to start somewhere, which in this case, is from the beginning of March to now. Note: due to the number of label approvals coming in now, I am turning the focus of this more onto local beers, and more interesting out of state ones. There are just too many beers coming in now that
