Today is also the 55th birthday of “Crazy” Dave Heist, former owner of Hoptown Brewing in Pleasanton, California. Dave was brewing at Santa Cruz Aleworks for a time, but is now happily retired, at least for the time being. Join me in wishing Dave a very happy birthday.

Shouldn’t that be Hoptown Brewing formerly of Pleasanton? I’ve heard from some very reputable sources that Dave is contracting out of Sudwerk now.
