- <p> Without the immigration reform bill, Belgian-born beermaker
- Pierre Celis, 66, would probably never have launched his new
- brewery near Austin. By his estimate, the Celis Brewery should
- cost $7.5 million before the first pale beer starts to flow, a
- sum he says he would not have invested without the assurance
- that he could stay in the U.S. to supervise the business.
- </p>
- <p> If the project lives up to Celis' expectations, he could
- be a model of how the new law can help the U.S. economy. The
- plan is to use American ingredients to produce a Belgian-style
- white beer that will compete with imported beers. Meanwhile, the
- city of Austin gets jobs, a potential tourist attraction and a
- local beer--something it has not had since 1878. Celis finds
- Texas appealing because it is well located for shipping to both
- coasts, not to mention that the Lone Star State has plenty of
- beer drinkers.
