While most of Washington was focused on Tuesday's election results, the House was busy doing something else: Passing a resolution about beer.
House Resolution 1297, sponsored by Rep. Betsy Markey, supports "the goals and ideals of American Craft Beer Week."
"We've got quite a number of microbreweries and entrepreneurs that are creating jobs, and we wanted to celebrate that this is a craft," Markey told POLITICO.
"I think beer has been a tradition since this country was founded," said Markey. "We wanted to celebrate entrepreneurship — and good beer!"
Yup, under the radar, among all the election results is one of the most important resolutions ever passed by Congress. The making of beer is now officially a craft. Good ole' all American beer.
I'll drink to that...........................
