SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 256
WHEREAS, The MillerCoors Fort Worth Brewery is commemorating
its 45th anniversary on February 25, 2015, and this significant
milestone is indeed deserving of special recognition; and
WHEREAS, The then Miller Brewing Company celebrated the
opening of this facility with a German-style spirit of
Gemütlichkeit, with company president Charles Miller handing out
to attendees the first bottles of Miller High Life to roll off the
production line; and
WHEREAS, A few years later, the brewery became the first in
the country to distribute the popular Miller Lite pilsner, and in
1990 it added Miller Genuine Draft to its lineup; today, a staff
of some 650 employees takes pride in crafting a variety of beers
at the plant, whose annual production capacity has grown to nine
million barrels; and
WHEREAS, The MillerCoors Fort Worth Brewery stands at the
forefront of sustainable business practices within the industry,
utilizing a number of innovative water and energy conservation
techniques while continuing to produce the high-quality
beverages that its customers desire; and
WHEREAS, Throughout the past four and a half decades, the
MillerCoors Fort Worth Brewery has made a substantial
contribution to the Texas economy while giving back to its
community in myriad ways, and it is indeed a privilege to
recognize the role it plays in advancing the prosperity of the
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby recognize February 25, 2015, as MillerCoors
Fort Worth Brewery Day at the State Capitol and commemorate the
brewery's 45 years of operation; and, be it further
