10-barrel
Today is Tonya Cornett’s 43rd birthday. Tonya was the brewmaster of Bend Brewing in Oregon, for a number of years, but has recently moved to another Bend brewery — 10 Barrel Brewing — to become their R&D brewer. Tonya’s a great brewer and, of course, being born 1 day and ten years after me makes her a terrific human being, too. Join me in wishing Tonya a very happy birthday.
