Beer Birthday: John Holl

January 11, 2018 By Jay Brooks 6 Comments

Today is the 38th birthday of John Holl, who’s a journalist that came over to the dark side full time; dark beer, that is. Originally on the staff of the Gray Lady — the New York Times — he’s now writing exclusively about beer from his home in northern New Jersey, and more recently he’s become a senior editor at Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine. Online, he’s at Beer Briefing and his latest book is the American Craft Beer Cookbook. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know John during some travel over the last few years, from Denver to Boston, and even in Chile. He’s a great addition to the fraternity of beer writers. Join me in wishing John a very happy birthday.

    Happy birthday John! You write about beer, but when are you going to be old enough to drink it?

    I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for John Holl. Well, except for Twitter.

    John is proof that a mentor does not have to be older than the mentee. Cheers!
