                     RECOGNIZING SCHILLING BEER CO.

 Ms. HASSAN. Mr. President, last month, as fires raged across 
northern California, a New Hampshire family business stepped up to 
help. For their efforts, I am proud to recognize Dr. Bruce Cozzens, his 
sons Jeff, Stuart, and Matt; long-time friend John Lenzini, as well as 
head brewer Chris Deapo of Schilling Beer Co. as December 2018's 
Granite Staters of the Month.
  Schilling Beer Co. was founded in 2013 by friends and family who are 
deeply committed to their community, and one of their core values as a 
business is looking out for others. As CEO Jeff Cozzens put it, ``part 
of living this value means that we help others whenever it is within 
our power do so.''
  As the Camp Fire blazed, Schilling Beer Co. agreed to be part of a 
national ``Resilience'' fundraiser spearheaded by Sierra Nevada 
Brewing. As part of the initiative, Schilling Beer Co. will join 
breweries across the country to help brew the Resilience Butte Country 
Proud IPA, of which all of the proceeds will go to relief efforts in 
Butte County, CA. Schilling Beer Co. also played an important role by 
lending their trademarked name of ``Resilience,'' their American ale 
project, to the cause.
  In Jeff's words, ``Butte County residents have suffered a tragedy of 
unspeakable proportions,'' and the brewery was honored to be able to 
play a role in assisting them.
  I am extremely grateful for their generosity and efforts to help the 
victims of the California wildfires, and I am proud to recognize the 
Cozzens and Lenzini families of Schilling Beer Co., as well as head 
brewer Chris Deapo, as the December Granite Staters of the 
Month.
