Today is my friend Arne Johnson’s 56th birthday. Arne is the head brewer at Marin Brewing in Larkspur, California. 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.

Feliz Cumpleanos, Saint Arne! — Brent
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.
Gracias Jay & Brent,
I know the rest of ya’s is too hung over to reply.
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.
Enjoy the B-Day Arne! Hopefully I’ll get down to see you with some homebrew really soon.
Happy Birthday, Dear Arne! May all you wish for come true. Cheers!
All the best my friend on this anniversary of your birth!
Hey Arne,
46?! Wow…makes me feel my age.
Hope to put a few pints down the old pie hole – w limburger! – soon.
All the best,
Grant
