Beer To-Go Sales in Texas Start Sunday

Starting Sunday visitors to craft breweries in Texas will be allowed to take home the beer they just tasted. A new law allowing beer-to-go sales for breweries takes effect September 1. Craft brewers have long pushed for the change, saying it could increase business and tourism. Texas is the only state that hasn’t allowed beer-to-go sales directly from brewers. “We get the question all the time,” said Gavin Secchi with 3 Nations Brewing Co. “A lot of people that come from out of state don’t know the law here and they’re kind of surprised we can’t sell beer to go. That will change soon.” The brewery in Farmers Branch is throwing a party on Sunday to celebrate. “Beer in that cooler can go home with people. That’s interesting, that’s very exciting for us,” said Secchi. Click to read more at www.nbcdfw.com.
