Beer Birthday: Arne Johnson

July 20, 2022 By Jay Brooks

marin the-cooler
Today is my friend Arne Johnson’s 57th birthday. Arne was the head brewer at Marin Brewing in Larkspur, California, until it closed earlier this year, and is now brewing at their sister brewery in Novato, Moylan’s Brewing. Arne makes some great beers and is a terrific person to boot. And more recently, he and some friends opened The Cooler in San Leandro. Join me in wishing Arne a very happy birthday.

    Just like last year, I’m the only one to post a congrats comment? Ain’t got no friends, Arne? Seriously, a tip of the White Knuckle to you, my friend.

    Hilarious to see my messages that are 1 and 2 years old! I continue to say “slainte” in thy direction, Arne. Year after year, you keep making the (Eldridge) grade. Way to go.

    Happy Birthday Arne. We’ve still got bottles of Vuur & Vlam to share. Should be as nicely aged as you and I are. Cheers!
