Taylor Rodeo
Since 1950, the Taylor Rodeo Association has proudly brought to you the Taylor Annual Rodeo in the hometown of Bill Pickett. The crowds that come to this yearly event have grown because of the enthusiasm and the excitement– but most of all for the entertainment they receive. Over the years the Taylor Annual Rodeo has become the big fish in a small pond. It is one of the biggest and best small-town rodeos anywhere.

Breweries across Williamson County are coming together for another House that BEER built, which we are so excited is going to be built right here in Taylor. So for the next year, the last Sunday of every month will be the House that BEER built day with a dollar from every Texas Beer Company beer sold being donated. So come on out and help us ensure this project is a success and we are able to help provide a home for a family in need right here in our community.
Additionally we will be dreaming up more ideas and ways to raise awareness about this project. If you have some thought, please feel free to share them with our team. And of course if you would like to donate money directly that would be greatly appreciated.

We have not set a final goal yet, but we want to make sure the Taylor Craft Beer Community does our part to make this dream a reality!
We want to thank Pat from San Gabriel River Brewery for spearheading this effort. And we want to thank Rentsch Brewery, Barrow Brewing Co., Bluebonnet Beer Co., Whitestone Brewery and Redhorn Coffee House and Brewing Co. for also participating. There will be lots of way to contribute at their breweries as well.
Habitat for Humanity brings people and communities together to create and sustain home ownership opportunities, so please donate a few dollars, or come to any of the events at any of our breweries and help make this homeownership dream a reality.
Cheers y’all!
