Today is fellow beer writer Don Russell’s 56th birthday. Don writes a beer column for the Philadelphia Daily News under the nom de plume Joe Sixpack. He also writes a blog online, Beer Radar, and is one of the organizers of Philly Beer Week. His latest book, What the Hell Am I Drinking?, was just published and — dare I say it — would make a great Christmas gift. Better still, you can order a copy directly from the author. Don is a fellow Pennsylvanian, a crack card player, and one of my very favorite people to share a beer with. Join me in wishing Don a very happy birthday.
