Today is the 64th birthday of Bob Pease. Bob until recently was the CEO of the Brewers Association and had been integral to their growth. He had been with the BA since 1993 and was made V.P. in 1999. A few years ago he was promoted to COO, and in August of 2014 was promoted yet again, though last year he retired. He had worked directly on the Export Development Program and also on Government Affairs, especially with respect to Federal Excise Tax legislation. Join me in wishing Bob a very happy birthday.
