Today is the 51st birthday of Dan Gordon, co-founder of Gordon Biersch Brewing, which began in San Jose, California. Join me in wishing Dan a very happy birthday.
At the Celebrator tasting us his newest beer, an unfiltered Dunkelweizen.
Dan at yet another private Dunelweizen tasting.
I love this early promotional shot they use on Gordon Biersch’s website.

Happy Birthday, The Dan!!! Looking forward to your next visit to the Brewing Network’s studio “D”.
P.S. how about a Gordon Biersch in New England?
Hey Dan,
Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the tremendous support that you and Gordon Biersch provide to University events in the SF Bay Area. I know that you were a Berkeley grad, but you’ve been very generous to Stanford, as well. Hope you have a fantastic 50th!
Cheers,
Greg Warwick
Dan Gordon – one of the giants of the craft brew industry and among the most eloquent and interesting people in any industry – a true Renaissance Man. He also makes some damn tasty lagers!
Happy 50th buddy!
Happy Birthday Dan !
You motivated me over decade ago, which led me to purchase defunct
brewery and start brewing Czech/German lagers.
Thanks again and enjoy life in Beer World!!!
Hi Dan,
We’re going to the SJ GB tonight to help support the autism cause. Maybe we’ll see you there.

Happy Birthday to The Dan!!
I stopped drinking Gordon Biersch after they strong-armed Oskar Blues. There’s enough great beer out there not to support jackass corporate “business” practices. Too bad because I like Dan.
Happy Birthday, Big Dan. You and Dean are both class acts. And your San Jose brewery tour rocks!
