House Resolution 884 marks the start of American Craft Beer Week and expresses appreciation for America’s independent craft brewers.

The resolution was submitted Monday by Representatives Peter Defazio (D-OR), Patrick Henry (R-NC), Richard Neal (D-MA) and Mike Kelly (R-PA), all members of the bi-partisan Small Brewer’s Caucus.

“Our nation’s booming craft brewing industry is not only a vibrant affirmation of the entrepreneurial traditions of the United States, they are a testament to the strength and importance of small businesses,” the members say in a statement. “With small and independent brewers in all 50 states, craft brewers make up a diverse and influential economic engine that provides jobs and supports agriculture and manufacturing across the United States.”
