Bruce Joseph, who’s been at Anchor Brewery for many, many years turns fifty-three today. There’s a big picture of him when he was very young in the stairwell at the brewery that I see every time I’m there. He’s been doing the distilling for Anchor’s whiskey and gin for a while now and plays bass with the Hysters (Anchor’s big band) and the Rolling Boil Blues Band (the Celebrator beer band that’s all industry musicians). If there’s a nicer person in the beer industry, I’ve yet to meet him. Join me in wishing Bruce a very happy birthday.

With the Rolling Boil at the Englander in San Leandro for a Celebrator Anniversary Party.

On stage at the Northern California Rhythm & Blues Festival several years ago.
There’s another great photo of Bruce and Ken Allen (owner of Anderson Valley Brewing) having some trouble standing at an after party during GABF in 2002.
