           RECOGNIZING THE MORRISVILLE STATE BREWING PROGRAM

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the teaching 
brewery at Morrisville State College, which, despite opening just last 
fall, has won the title as Grand National Champion brewing school in 
North America at the 2018 U.S. Open College Beer Championship. The 
contest, open to any college or university offering brewing courses, is 
held to determine the best future brewers in North America.
  Morrisville State College currently offers the courses as electives 
but hopes to have a full curriculum for the fall of 2019, making 
Morrisville the first State university of New York with a 4-year 
brewing program. Morrisville's program fits right in with upstate New 
York, which has several well-known breweries that bring jobs, 
creativity, and originality to the region, including the F.X. Matt 
Brewing Company, the fourth oldest family brewery in the United States; 
the Empire Brewing Factory in Cazenovia; and also the Cortland Farm 
Distillery and Brewery in Cortland, New York.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Morrisville State 
College on becoming the number one brewing school in North America 
their first time out. It took a lot of dedication from the students 
from Morrisville. I look forward to tasting some of their products as 
we move into the next semester.
