Today is Carol Stoudt’s birthday. She and her husband Ed started the first microbrewery in Pennsylvania, not far from where I grew up. After my grandfather retired he worked part time there helping out with maintenance. He was married to Ed’s aunt so I’m distantly related to the Stoudts by marriage. I grew up going to the restaurant, Stoudt’s Black Angus, but had already moved to California by the time they opened the brewery. But it’s been great seeing them at the various craft beer industry functions from year to year. Join me in wishing Carol a very happy birthday.
