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

Today is the 38th birthday of Matt Brynildson, brewmaster at Firestone Walker Brewery. Though I’ve known Matt for some time, I recently got to know him a lot better when I traveled with him to Burton-on-Trent in England to do a guest brew at Marston’s. I still have tons of photos (and an enormous amount of brewery porn) from that trip which I have to get up here. But suffice to say that apart being incredibly gifted as a brewer, Matt is also one of the nicest and coolest people in the industry. Join me in wishing Matt a very happy birthday.

At Marston’s in Burton-on-Trent last September.
