Beer Birthday: Tom Dalldorf

June 16, 2024 By Jay Brooks

celebrator-long
Today is Celebrator publisher Tom Dalldorf’s 82nd birthday. Since he’s famous for having his picture in the Celebrator and being at every beer event, I figured the Bulletin should be no different, despite his slowing down a bit these days, and recently going online only. Join me in wishing Tom a very happy birthday.

    Who is the fat asshole in the cowboy hat? Oh, that’s me. Nevermind.

    The dude next to Sharon is Steve ???? who did security for GABF. Jeff is way uglier.

    Happy Bloomsday, June 16, the day Harold Bloom made his infamous wander throught Dublin in 1904 documented in the incomprehensible Ulysses fueled by the red-black brew of increasingly less consiquence called Guinness.
