Small changes for a better Texas
Wyld Card had a long post the other day about the Friend of Texas Microbrewers effort. I particularly liked this bit.
It’s time to change these decades-old laws to promote the small business atmosphere that our elected leaders are constantly spouting about. Give our microbrewers a fighting chance, and they will flourish.
Microbreweries are one of the things that help make cities and states fun places to live. And of course, fun places to live have an advantage in attracting skilled workers and entrepreneurs necessary for Texas' economic future.

Interesting article in the Houston Chronicle about the relationships among lawmakers, wholesale distributors and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Been meaning to let you know I was in your corner.
In the words of my friend Eeyore, "thanks for noticin' me."
I'll come visit soon. Save me a glass of Summer Pils (or, if it's out of season, I'd "settle" for a lawnmower).

I just got back from a trip to San Diego, CA. Man, the difference is night and day. Micro-breweries seem to flourish greatly there. I had my pick of over 20 micro breweries to visit. The one I went to serves their beer and fine food with their beer incorporated into the recipe. They also have weekly growler fills right at the brewery. It was a fun environment. I hope this trend makes its way to Houston and the rest of Texas, heck the whole world.
