Peter DeFazio, who co-authored a House resolution to promote craft brewing, a $67 billion business. He founded the House Small Brewer’s Caucus and now shares the chairmanship with Reps. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), Richard Neal (D-MA), and Mike Kelly (R-PA). They wrote in their resolution this week: “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,” said the members in a statement. “With small and independent brewers in all fifty states, craft brewers make up a diverse and influential economic engine that provides jobs and supports agriculture and manufacturing across the United States. We’re proud to be the largest bi-partisan caucus in Congress and pledge to continue to promote and protect American craft brewing.”
