Reps. Peters, Perlmutter Highlight Craft Breweries in Friendly Football Wager
Winning Rep. will receive varietals from losing district
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressmen Scott Peters (CA-52) and Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) highlighted craft breweries, an industry key to local job growth in both of their districts, while making a friendly wager over this weekend’s NFL Playoff game between the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos. Both Peters and Perlmutter are members of the House of Representative’s Small Brewers Caucus, which raises awareness on issues important to small breweries nationwide.
“I am proud to support the small breweries that are helping to power the economic recovery and job growth not just in San Diego, but in cities and towns across America,” Rep. Peters said. “After the Bolts bring the Lightning to Denver this weekend, I look forward to tasting some of Colorado’s best craft beer.”
“In Colorado, craft beer is as important as water to economic and job growth in our communities,” said Perlmutter. “As a Colorado Native, I’m confident the Broncos are going to Sic ‘Em when the Pigskin crosses the goal line.”
