|
||
| WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses contribute to | ||
| the character and vitality of their communities, and Oil Horse | ||
| Brewing Co. in Longview, which recently celebrated its fifth year | ||
| of operation, is one such enterprise; and | ||
| WHEREAS, John Oglesbee first began brewing his gluten-free | ||
| beer as a hobby after learning he had a form of gluten intolerance; | ||
| he established Oil Horse Brewing Co. in 2016 and sold out of his | ||
| product in a single day; inspired by local history, he serves a | ||
| variety of brews with namesakes such as the Big Inch pipeline that | ||
| runs eastward from Longview, the city's founder, Ossamus Hitch | ||
| Methvin, and the loblolly pines that populate the region; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since its inception, Oil Horse Brewing Co. has | ||
| expanded its operation to include canning and outside sales | ||
| distribution across East Texas, while the taproom remains a popular | ||
| gathering spot for customers; the brewery celebrated its fifth | ||
| anniversary on May 8, 2021, with a block party featuring live music, | ||
| food trucks, cornhole, and other activities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The well-being of Texas depends on a vibrant, | ||
| diversified economy, and independent businesses deeply rooted in | ||
| their communities are to be commended for strengthening the | ||
| prosperity of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the fifth anniversary of Oil Horse | ||
| Brewing Co. and extend to John Oglesbee and his staff sincere best | ||
| wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Oglesbee as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
