If I could quote the 51% statue I would, but I can't remember it exactly. But I believe it says "Sales & Consumption".

I don't think it regulates "give it away" for consumption at all.

Another example would be this.......
We all know you can carry in a Liqueur Store. But, what about a Liqueur Store that is giving free samples of wine?

Another Gray Area. One that could be eliminated with "CHL carry wherever LEO's can carry".

Not a gray area at all. Liquor stores and breweries are NOT licensed for on site consumption so, by law, the CAN NOT derive 51% of their income from the sale of on site consumable alcohol.
From TABC's website.

The second sign, the 51% sign, is to be posted on the premises of establishments where the possession of any concealed weapon is illegal. These are establishments that are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption whose alcohol sales constitutes more than half of gross receipts. These signs have 51% in large red letters superimposed over the warning and the warning notes that possession of a concealed weapon on the premises is a felony.

This.
It is not allowed by TABC to sell beer at a brewery if it is also sold elsewhere. In Texas beer has to be "distributed" before it can be sold or only sold at the brewery, not both. Something about 2 revenue streams from one product.
