Today is also the birthday of Atlanta Journal-Constitution beer columnist Bob Townsend. Although he wouldn’t tell me how old he is when I met him in Boston several years ago, I suspect it’s because he’s even older than me. Regardless, we hit it off immediately; kindred souls, to be sure, and have since traveled together on numerous press junkets. Join me in wishing Bob a very happy birthday.





I sure look old and cranky at the judging table. But that was early. Much better after a few beers and slap on the back from Jim. Thanks!

Hey Jay!
Bob’s a marvelous resource here in Atlanta for his knowledge, writing skills and all-around-good-guy approach. Then again, haven’t spent many mornings around him!
Glad to see he’s celebrating 39 again.
