Today is the birthday of Fal Allen, who returned to Anderson Valley Brewing last year, after living for four years in Singapore, where he built and ran a craft brewery for Archipelago Brewery, a division of Asia Pacific Breweries. He blogged about his exploits there on his Brewing in Singapore blog, but since returning stateside, he’s been blogging at The Goat Rodeo. Join me in wishing the ageless Fal a very happy birthday.
At the Oregon Brewers Festival.
Also at OBF, with Daniel Bradford of All About Beer Magazine and Dave Buehler from Elysian Brewing in Seattle.
Fal participating in the swimsuit contest at the Craft Brewers Conference in San Diego several years back.
While still GM at Anderson Valley, launching Brother David at the Toronado in San Francisco. Clockwise from left: Fal, Mark Cabrera, David Gatlin, me and Dave Keene, the beer’s namesake and Toronado owner.

Happy Birthday Fal, wish I’ll be able to drink beer with u in Malaysia, and teach me some tips & tricks! Cheers! Happy new year!
Happy Birthday Fal! It was great meeting you this year at AVBC and then seeing you again at the Beveridge Place and Elysian Pumpkinfest. We’re hoping to make it to the Boonville Beerfest this May, so maybe we’ll see you again this year. Cheers!
Happy Bday Fal!!!
Sorry to miss you when we were up that way over Thanksgiving. You sure have turned the beers around, hope the rumor heard about Brother David being discontinued isn’t true!!! We’ll probably see you during SF Beer Week!
Have some great beers today!!
