                STRAUB BREWERY IS CELEBRATING 150 YEARS

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Straub Brewery in St. Marys, Pennsylvania. Straub Brewery is 
celebrating 150 years of homemade brews.
  Founded in 1872 by Peter Straub, a German immigrant, they have been 
brewing beverages independently for more than five generations. This 
achievement represents the passion and dedication of a single family 
who successfully managed, expanded, and often protected a way of life 
that the brewery represented.
  Their history is an extensive one, spanning generations, starting 
from immigrant roots, surviving Prohibition, and now Straub is a staple 
in the community and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
  For generations, Straub Brewery has continued to preserve and 
safeguard those qualities that make the brewery unique. Straub's 
longevity can be attributed to the craft, skills, and professionalism 
of the men and women who keep the brewery running.
  To celebrate 150 years, Straub is hosting various Oktoberfest events, 
and they have brewed a special 150th anniversary pilsner.
  Mr. Speaker, if you ever find yourself in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, I 
encourage you to check out Straub Brewery and enjoy a cold one from 
their eternal tap, which has been flowing since 1872.
  Cheers to Straub Brewery, William Brock, and the entire Straub family 
on this monumental anniversary.
