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.
