Bruce Joseph, who’s been at Anchor Brewery for many, many years turns 54 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.
On stage at the Northern California Rhythm & Blues Festival several years ago.

Bruce is a class act – the consummate MR MELLOW! At the Homebrew Club of the Year luncheon Sat Feb 13, his Anchor cohorts presented him w/2 cakes replete w/candles (don’t think there were 54 total on them, but who cares – the sentiment is what counts!). He’s damned good at the bass, too! May he have zillions of happy days to come!
