Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It’s a big day for beer birthdays. Today is also Dave Keene’s 54th birthday. Dave, of course, owns the best beer bar in San Francisco, the Toronado, which this Saturday will celebrate its 22nd anniversary. Join me in wishing Dave a very happy birthday.
