Today is my good friend Melissa Myers’ birthday. She most recently brewed at Drake’s Brewing in San Leandro, California. She’s also brewed at Pyramid and Magnolia, among others. She’s currently scouting locations for her own place and trying to secure the final financing. Join me in wishing Melissa a very happy birthday.

Melissa in high school, believe it or not. At a Super Bowl party she threw, Melissa made the mistake of showing me this photo while I had my camera in my hand. I snapped a quick picture of it in the photo album, which is why is looks out of proportion and a little fuzzy. I had to seriously crop it and straighten it out and generally fix it up. But I think the effort was worth it, don’t you?

This picture, her 3-yeaar picture and her’s brewer picture all hang on my office wall. They are the same person. My daughter of whom I love and are very much proud of. Besides as a wine snob, I actually really like her beers. I love you Melissa. Dad
By the way I call her “Pookie” Dad
Happy Birthday, Melissa! Very cool that Dad posted a nice comment. I’m wiping away tears. — Brent
That’s my girl! Thanks for helping make this year’s birthday so damn good.
Happy Birthday Melissa! You’re an awesome brewer and a fantastic friend. Kudos to Jay for keeping that high school photo circulating – looks like it was taken 10 minutes before she signed up for the Barbizon School of Modeling “To become a model, or just look like one….”
Wow – that high school pic is hot! Melissa – let your hair grow out – you are beautiful!
Happy Birthday, Melissa!
Here’s to many celebratory returns of the day, with high school or baby photos to make us smile. P.S. – you have a cool dad.
Pssst … Don, Melissa is married!
Happy belated birthday, Melissa!
Cheers,
Mrs. J

Hey Jay,
