                         HONORING NEXUS BREWERY

                                 ______

                             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 Nexus Brewery on their triumph 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.
  I am honored to know that Albuquerque, New Mexico's very own Nexus 
Brewery received the Gold in the Honey Beer category, for their Honey 
Chamomile Wheat, out of a total of 55 entries from around the world. 
Nexus head brewer, Kaylynn McNight explained, ``I'm also very proud of 
it because it's my own recipe. It's one of the first seasonal beers 
that I made here that turned into a house beer.''
  As a small locally owned manufacturing and service business, Nexus 
Brewery represents the prosperity of a burgeoning local craft beer 
industry in New Mexico. Nexus Brewery is a testament to the 
contributions small businesses make to our country and communities and 
the idea that with hard work and dedication nothing is unattainable.
  To this day lawyers, government officials, business leaders, 
political icons, artists and students continue to enjoy exquisite beers 
in Nexus' friendly atmosphere. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
moment to recognize Nexus Brewery for their accomplishments in the 2016 
World Beer Cup competition and commitment to our community at large. I 
am proud to know that we have a great business located in the First 
Congressional District of New Mexico.
