Today is Paddy Giffen’s 59th birthday. Paddy was the original brewer at Marin Brewing, did some distilling and was briefly with Bear Republic. I ran into him last year at the Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol, and these days he’s brewing at Lagunitas. Join me in wishing Paddy a very happy birthday.

I recall, from Zymurgy, that Paddy was Homebrewer of the Year in the past and that he was the original brewer at Moylans. I believe he is the originator of the wonderful “Kiltlifter” as well.
