	WHEREAS, Texas craft brewers produced nearly one million
	barrels of beer in 2014, experiencing production increases of 36
	percent over the past two years; and
	WHEREAS, The State of Texas is home to 117 craft breweries,
	the seventh-largest number in any state; and
	WHEREAS, These craft brewers share a unique passion for their
	industry and take an intense pride in continuously creating
	products of the highest caliber; the work of these craft brewers
	embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Texas small business owners;
	and
	WHEREAS, At the most recent Great American Beer Festival, the
	superiority of Texas craft beer was evident as Lone Star State
	brewers brought home 16 medals; and
	WHEREAS, Laws passed by the 83rd Texas Legislature allowed
	craft breweries in the state to deliver an economic impact of $2.3
	billion in 2013 alone, and Texas craft beer producers provided
	2,929 jobs directly at breweries and brewpubs throughout the state;
	and
	WHEREAS, Continued growth in this industry will lead to a
	larger positive impact on the Texas economy, bringing more jobs,
	higher-quality products, and increased tourism to our state; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 29, 2015, as Craft Brewers Day
