WHEREAS, The Cane Island Alers have won the 2017 Gambrinus |
|
Club Award, a prize presented by the American Homebrewers |
|
Association; and |
|
WHEREAS, Each year, the AHA hosts the National Homebrew |
|
Competition, which recognizes the best homemade beer, mead, and |
|
cider from across the nation and around the world; the 2017 contest |
|
featured more than 8,600 entries from 3,530 brewers representing |
|
all 50 states and 13 foreign countries; the final 1,134 entries were |
|
evaluated by some of the nation's top beer judges at the annual |
|
National Homebrewers Conference in Minneapolis; and |
|
WHEREAS, Named for King Gambrinus, the unofficial patron |
|
saint of beer, the Gambrinus Club Award is presented each year to |
|
the brewing club that wins the most final round points per number of |
|
entries in the national competition; in addition, at least two of |
|
the winning club's members must have advanced to, and one member |
|
must have placed in, the final round; and |
|
WHEREAS, Cane Island Alers is a club of home brewers in the |
|
Katy area; two of its members helped propel the group to victory by |
|
earning individual honors: Ryan DeLaRosa, of Houston, won first |
|
place in the stout category, and David Rogers, of Cypress, took |
|
second place in the bock category; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Cane Island Alers are making their own creative |
|
and distinctive contributions to a tradition that dates back |
|
millennia, and this prestigious award is a testament to the |
|
enormous skill, enthusiasm, and dedication that they bring to their |
|
craft; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Cane |
|
Island Alers on winning the Gambrinus Club Award from the American |
|
Homebrewers Association and extend to its members sincere best |
|
wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the Cane Island Alers as an expression of high regard |
|
by the Texas House of Representatives. |
