Today is the 54th birthday of Ken Grossman, who founded Sierra Nevada Brewing in 1980. I can’t say too much about how much Ken has done and continues to do for the craft beer industry, while at the same time being wildly successful. Join me in wishing Ken a very happy birthday.

Hi J,
Just discovered your beer site today and I have fallen in love with it, have been going through the archives all afternoon. Great stuff. Keep up the good work.
I write a beer blog myself:
