The Texas Craft Spirits PAC, in partnership with the Texas Whiskey Association, the American Craft Spirits Association and the Texas Distilled Spirits Association, has launched our #StillStrongTX campaign. Our goal is to raise money and to advocate for immediate common-sense regulations that will give Texas distillers more CONTACTLESS direct-to-consumer sales options.
All we ask is that you take 3 quick actions:
When the pandemic hit, Texas distilleries responded by producing and providing hand sanitizer for first responders, hospitals, healthcare workers and countless charitable organizations that needed help. Since then, our tasting rooms have been shut down, bars closed and restaurants reduced to 50% occupancy. Texas distilleries find themselves handcuffed and cornered by antiquated laws dating back to prohibition, far more stringent than the publicly perceived "sophisticated" wineries or "cool" micro-breweries, some of which are allowed to stay open and all of which can sell directly to the public. Texas distilleries continue to be treated as the evil step-sister, with disparate treatment leveled against them by the Texas legislature and TABC. We need your help to ensure Texas distilleries are treated fairly and to help us survive this pandemic.
