Today is Rodger Davis’ 42nd birthday, and “42″ being the meaning of life, this year should be a big one for Rodger. He’s about to leave his job as the head brewer at Triple Rock in Berkeley, California, and strike out on his own. Rodger is a terrific brewer and has been very active in the local beer community and it will be great to see him at the helm of his own place. He’s one of those people always giving the craft beer world a good name, helping colleagues, organizing festivals and being a good friend to all. His new venture, with his wife Claudia, will be known as Faction Brewing, and he’s in the process of raising the necessary funding to get it up and running. If you’ve ever consider investing in a start-up brewery, this could be your golden opportunity — drop me a note and I’ll put you in touch with him. But for today, join me in wishing Rodger a very happy birthday.
