AUSTIN -- Craft beer brewers are asking Texas lawmakers to expand the market for their products.

Owners of brewpubs and small breweries made their case Tuesday to the Senate Committee on Business and Commerce.

They say current law gives an advantage to national distributors.

Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, has filed bills that would let small breweries sell beer during tours and let brewpubs sell in stores.
