John Holler pours "Won't You Be My Neighbor" at the Holler Brewery taproom in Sawyer Yards. Holler, who was inegral in the push to legalize beer-to-go in Texas, said he still can’t believe he’ll legally be able to sell cans of his brews come Sunday. less John Holler pours "Won't You Be My Neighbor" at the Holler Brewery taproom in Sawyer Yards.

Correction: A previous version of this story stated that the popular "Beer To Go" bill was signed by Abbott on Monday. The bill remains unsigned, but is expected to be inked by the Governor shortly.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 1232 into law on Monday, which allows retailers like H.E.B. to include beer and wine in any sales customers order for delivery.

Shortly before 7 p.m. Monday, the governor tweeted a selfie video of himself signing the bill.

I just signed a law allowing you to order beer and wine from retailers to be delivered to your home.

SAINT ARNOLD AT 25: Brewery paved way for more craft suds to flow

"Have you ever ordered food or groceries from a retailer to be delivered to your home, and also wished that you could order beer or wine to be delivered to your home? Well, I'm about to sign a law that allows you to do just that," he said, before swirling his pen along the bottom of the bill, inking his signature.

He then turned the signed bill to face the camera and added, "Enjoy responsibly."

Next up: The Governor is expected to sign the popular Beer To Go bill in the coming weeks.

Beer To Go was added as an amendment to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission Sunset Bill, after receiving bipartisan support, but failing to make it to the floors of the Texas House and Senate on its own. With just hours left before the deadline to pass legislation, the Texas Senate approved the measure on May 22.

Brewers have been advocating for the measure, which will allow Texas consumers to purchase six-packs, growler and crowlers at breweries, to take home for off-premise consumption, for more than a decade. And in the run-up to this year's session, the movement became a force to be reckoned with, thanks to the formation of the political action committee the Texas Craft Brewers Guild.

Texas is the 50th state to legalize such purchases.
