Today is the 32nd birthday of Peter Hoey, who used to be the brewmaster at Sacramento Brewing, but then left to launch a new brewery, Odonata Beer Co., with Rick Sellers. Unfortunately it’s been a rough year for Peter but he’s landed on his feet and is now working happily at Brewers Supply Group, taking over Mark Worona’s old job (since he’s been promoted). Peter’s a great brewer and has become a good friend over the last few years. He’s also brewed at Sierra Nevada and Bison Brewing, too. Join me in wishing Peter a very happy birthday.
