                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 2016

  Ms. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM of New Mexico. Mr. Speaker, I rise today 
to honor Bosque Brewing on their achievement 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 Bosque 
Brewing received the Bronze in the Australian or International-Style 
Pale Ale category, for their Riverwalker IPA, out of a total of 84 
entries from around the world.
  Bosque Brewing was founded in Albuquerque in October 2012. Since 
opening, they have expanded rapidly in New Mexico with an outstanding 
selection of beer. Although just four years old, Bosque Brewing's beers 
are already staples in restaurants and bars throughout our state.
  As a small locally owned manufacturing and service business Bosque 
Brewing represents the prosperity of a burgeoning local craft beer 
industry in New Mexico. Not only is Bosque Brewery a thriving business 
in the heart of downtown Albuquerque, but they are an active and 
engaged partner in our local community. Each month Bosque Brewery 
designates an ``Adoption Brew'' and donates $1 from every sale to the 
ABBA fund, an organization that extends 0 percent interest loans to 
families aspiring to adopt domestically and internationally. Bosque 
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 Bosque's friendly atmosphere. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
moment to recognize Bosque 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.
