The resolution celebrates the growth and impact of the craft brewing industry in Rhode Island, highlighting the significant increase in breweries from five a decade ago to fifty today, which collectively offer over 150 unique craft beer selections. It emphasizes the economic contributions of these small businesses, which generate $876 million annually in wages and benefits and support over 7,000 jobs. Additionally, the craft brewing industry revitalizes local communities by transforming commercial districts and abandoned spaces, while also contributing to the sale of food and merchandise through brewpubs and brewery tours.

In recognition of these achievements, the resolution proclaims the 4th annual "RI Craft Beer Week," which features various events and activities, including the launch of a new collaborative beer and themed merchandise giveaways. The Senate expresses its support for the continued growth of the craft brewing industry in the state and extends a celebratory "Cheers!" to the efforts of the RI Brewers Guild. The resolution concludes with a directive to transmit a certified copy to the Executive Director of the Guild.
