Beer Birthday: Alan McLeod

April 18, 2022 By Jay Brooks

a-good-beer-blog
Today is beer blogger extraordinaire Alan McLeod’s 59th birthday. Alan runs a good beer blog, called — curiously enough — A Better Beer Blog, which replaced his earlier “A Good Beer Blog.” I’m not sure what came first, the goodness or the blog. Anyway, though I’ve yet to meet Alan in person I feel as if he’s already a great, not just good, friend through our many conversations via e-mail and commenting on one another’s blogs. If you haven’t read his essay in the book Beer & Philosophy yet, rush right out and buy yourself a copy. He also published The Unbearable Nonsense of Craft Beer, with Max Bahnson, available as a Kindle single on Amazon, and a few years back co-wrote both Upper Hudson Valley Beer and Ontario Beer: A Heady History of Brewing from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay. Join me in wishing Alan the very merriest of birthdays. Cheers, mate.

    That is the most specialist birthday present a boy could ever have. Even if I gave you the heads up. 😉

    Thanks and I assure you I am making the most of it.

    Six years and counting! I have noticed one thing, however. I am getting old.
