Beer Birthday: Alan Sprints

Today is the 49th birthday of Alan Sprints. Alan is the founder of Hair of the Dog Brewery in Portland, Oregon. Alan makes some of the most unique and most wonderful beers, not just in Portland, but anywhere, all the more impressive because he brews out of an old Cambell’s soup kettle. Join me in wishing Alan a very happy birthday.
