As you may be aware, the 82nd iteration of the Texas Legislature introduced HB 602, which would have allowed Texas craft breweries to allow guests to take home up to a 12-pack of beer after attending a brewery tour. In effect, this would have allowed breweries to operate along the same lines that Texas wineries have for years now. The decision to pass such legislation seems to be a no-brainer, right? Giving small businesses in Texas the access to free-market segments previously (and unjustly) withheld from them would be the prudent gesture, especially considering our current economic conditions. Anheuser-Busch/InBev, in an attempt to subjugate craft beer's growth in the market, cashed in on their extensive political investments and single-handedly killed the bill. AB/InBev has proven time and again that they have no interest in a free market and that they will do anything to maintain their monopoly.

Christy and I do not support the actions of AB/InBev (a foreign-owned company) treating the Texas Legislature as its privately owned enforcement division. Our own small business, The Dig Pub, was born out of the desire to promote artisanal breweries, and we are elated to see the burgeoning craft beer market that has developed in our own back yard. It is our desire to provide our customers with a high-quality product from businesses that you can be proud to support.As a result of their reckless act of nepotism, any product owned or brewed by AB/InBev will no longer be offered at The Dig Pub. We encourage all of our customers to think for themselves, but if you are so inclined to speak with your consumer dollar we have included a link to all brands held by Anheuser-Busch/InBev.

Thank you for your continued support of The Dig Pub and craft beer!

Sincerely,

Todd and Christy Wink
