                           HON. DAN NEWHOUSE

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 16, 2023

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate my friend, 
Alexander Barth, on his retirement after many dedicated years to the 
hop industry.
  Alex was the Chief Executive Officer of John I. Haas Inc., North 
America's leading hop supplier, as well as a partner at BarthHaas, the 
world's leading supplier of hop products and related services. 
BarthHaas, founded in 1794, is now in its eighth generation of family 
ownership.
  As a hop farmer myself, I truly appreciate the impact John I. Haas 
Inc. and BarthHaas have on the industry, which is due in large part to 
Alex. Prior to his appointment as CEO, Alex was responsible for 
overseeing the company's significant production operations, so he also 
knows his way around a hop farm.
  My sincerest thanks goes out to Alex for his honesty and integrity, 
and for his commitment to the prosperity of our community and industry. 
I wish him the best in his retirement.
