Leave a Comment / Austin Breweries, Beer to Go, CBA, Craft Beer, Craft Beer News / By Pam Catoe / April 27, 2020

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 …

Want Beer Delivery During the COVID-19 Crisis? Act Now!

Leave a Comment / Austin Breweries, CBA, Craft Beer, Craft Beer News / By Pam Catoe / March 21, 2020

Austin rejoiced when we heard local restaurants can now add alcohol to the line up of delivery and to-go options with a food order. Governor Abbott signed the waiver earlier this week as a temporary measure to help business affected by the statewide mandate to close dining rooms and bars. However, the measure only allows relief to businesses holding a mixed beverage license; therefore, does not apply to breweries, who can currently only sell beer-to-go …
