                   CELEBRATING 194 YEARS OF YUENGLING

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 194th birthday 
of the best beer in the world, Yuengling, whose birthday was yesterday, 
April 18.
  Yuengling is the oldest and most iconic brewery in America. Founded 
in 1829 by David G. Yuengling, this family-owned business has been 
producing quality beer for almost two centuries and six generations 
while employing thousands of Pennsylvanians along the way.
  From its humble beginnings as a small brewery in Pottsville, it 
remains in Pottsville, and is now a large brewery, serving millions who 
enjoy it across the country.

  Yuengling has a rich history and has survived through Civil War, two 
world wars, Prohibition, the Great Depression, and recessions. In the 
words of its owner Dick Yuengling, a friend of mine, ``The brewery is a 
survivor.''
  Just recently, I met with the sixth generation Jen Yuengling, who 
gave a great speech on the history of Yuengling at Bucknell University, 
the open discourse forum. Her passion for the brand will stand the test 
of time.
  Today, let's raise a pint to the Yuengling family and to the best 
American brewery and beer there is made in America. Cheers.
