Today is the birthday of Barbara Groom, co-founder of Lost Coast Brewing in Eureka, California. I first met Barbara when I was the beer buyer at BevMo in the mid-1990s and our paths have crossed on occasion ever since. She makes terrific beers and her brewery recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. Join me in wishing Barbara a very happy birthday.

This is what Barbara was wearing when I first met her, back when she called on me at BevMo.

Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary Barbara. I know you’re trying but you can’t catch me! Alec
I got my brewing start with Barbara at Lost Coast in the mid 1990s. Happy Birthday Barbara!
I wonder if I should say how old she is….she might fire me (L.O.L.)
Have B-Day boss
