                        HONORING MARBLE BREWERY

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM

                             of new mexico

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 2016

  Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today 
to honor Marble Brewery on their impressive showing during the 2016 
World Beer Cup awards.
  The Brewers Association hosts the World Beer Cup every two years, a 
competition which features over 200 judges for over 90 categories of 
beer. Large and small breweries throughout the globe enter this 
prestigious event.
  Two years ago I had the privilege of honoring Marble Brewery for 
their first place finish out of 59 entries in the Kellerbier or 
Zwickelbier category. I am honored to be able to recognize Marble 
Brewery again for winning Bronze in the same category at this year's 
competition. Indeed, Marble Brewery beat out 67 other entries from 
around the world with their outstanding pilsner.
  Marble Brewery was founded in Albuquerque in 2008 by Tim Rice, Jeff 
Jinnett, and John Gozigian. Since opening, they have expanded rapidly 
in New Mexico with an exceptional selection of beer. Today Marble 
Brewery's beers are already staples in restaurants and bars throughout 
our state, as well as in Colorado, and parts of Arizona.
  Marble Brewery is a manifestation of the power of local businesses to 
provide jobs and services to our community. Mr. Speaker, the First 
Congressional District of New Mexico is lucky to have such a wonderful 
and world class brewery in downtown Albuquerque. I wish Marble Brewery 
years of continued success and look forward to hearing about their 
future achievements.
