Today is publican Don Younger’s 69th birthday. He owns the famous Horse Brass pub in Portland, Oregon, along with a few others. Don is a wonderful person and was an early and continuing supporter of craft beer. Join me in wishing Don a very Happy birthday.

66? He doesn’t look a day over 100. Seriously, happy b-day to a true pioneer.

As Don often says “It’s not about the beer — it’s about the beer!
Happy Birthday Don – you’re a legend and a fun guy to share a beer with.
