Today I rise for a cheers-worthy holiday shout-out. This month, Simpson Stormin' Red Ale has its official launch party at West Hill Brewing in Indianola, Iowa. The idea for this beer was brewed up between West Hill owners and Simpson College. Aspiring graphic designers and artists were given the opportunity to design this year's logo. This year, Madison McDonald, a graphic design major from Winterset, Iowa, created the winning design. Moving forward, there will be an annual redesign contest, and West Hill also plans to donate a portion of all profits from Simpson Stormin' Red Ale to support student scholarships at Simpson College. Nothing quite brings people together like the holidays. I congratulate West Hill Brewing and Simpson College on another successful collaboration. Mr. Speaker, I wish everyone a very merry Christmas. ____________________
