Beer Birthday: Chris Black

falling-rock
Chris Black, who along with his brother, owns the Falling Rock, the best beer bar in Denver and HQ for beer people during GABF, turns 50 today. Chris is a great guy and one of a handful of Publicans across the country doing things right when it comes to beer. Join me in wishing Chris a very happy birthday.

    I’ve enjoyed the conversations we’ve had when I’ve been in Denver. Come hit Barclays in Oakland

    • I think it’s more like were Evil Opposites, only we can’t decide on who’s the more evil one (insert diabolical Dr. Evil laugh here)…

      Actually we served together on an Association of Brewer’s board (now Brewer’s Association) the intro went as follows:
      “White, Black. Black, White.”
