Here is Grassley's introduction.
Thank you for allowing me to introduce J. Wilson who is a constituent from my state. Mr. Wilson has come all the way from Prescott, Iowa, to testify before us today. He represents the Iowa Brewers Guild, which is an organization representing the interests of the Iowa craft brewing industry. Mr. Wilson is a certified beer judge and an award-winning homebrewer. He's a published author, and a freelance writer for several print and online publications. I appreciate the Chairman inviting Mr. Wilson so he can give a small business perspective on the possible impacts of this proposed acquisition on the marketplace and, ultimately, on American consumers.
