5	5	WHEREAS, Since the early 1800s, Texas has been known for
6	6	producing high quality beers; the small breweries of the 19th
7	7	century handcrafted their products with basic equipment, but their
8	8	attention to detail laid a foundation of brewing excellence that
9	9	has persisted to the present; and
10	10	WHEREAS, Today, the practice of creating exceptional beers in
11	11	small quantities lives on through the work of a number of Texas
12	12	companies, one of which is Rahr & Sons Brewing of Fort Worth; and
13	13	WHEREAS, From the time that it was established in 2004, Rahr &
14	14	Sons has dedicated itself to brewing award-winning beers and ales
15	15	based on traditional German and English recipes; its products are
16	16	sold primarily in North Texas, a local focus similar to that
17	17	employed by the beer producers of yesteryear; moreover, the company
18	18	calls on a personal sense of history in its work; Frederick William
19	19	"Fritz" Rahr, Jr., one of the partners in the company, is following
20	20	in the footsteps of his great-great-grandfather, Wilhelm Rahr, who
21	21	founded the Eagle Rahr Brewery and Malt House in Wisconsin in 1847;
22	22	and
23	23	WHEREAS, The Fort Worth company has been repeatedly
24	24	recognized for the quality of its brews, and its awards include a
25	25	bronze medal at the 2008 World Beer Cup and best in class honors for
26	26	four consecutive years at the United States Beer Tasting
27	27	Championships; and
28	28	WHEREAS, Though it draws inspiration from the past, the
29	29	company also looks to the future with its ongoing commitment to
30	30	sustainable energy practices; all of the brewery's electricity
31	31	comes from renewable resources, and the company is working hard to
32	32	reduce its carbon footprint; and
33	33	WHEREAS, In the course of creating its highly respected
34	34	products, Rahr & Sons Brewing is helping to maintain time-honored
35	35	business and cultural practices while contributing to the economy
36	36	of Fort Worth; now, therefore, be it
37	37	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
38	38	Legislature hereby commend Rahr & Sons Brewing for furthering the
39	39	fine brewing tradition of the Lone Star State and extend to its
40	40	owners and staff best wishes for continued success; and, be it
41	41	further
42	42	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
43	43	prepared for the company as an expression of high regard by the
44	44	Texas House of Representatives.
