Today is the 43rd (maybe) birthday of Brandon Hernández, who is the Chief Marketing Officer for Societe Brewing, but was a beer writer long before joining AleSmith, and continues to write for the San Diego Reader and the West Coaster, as well as other publications. And he’s published the Complete Guide to San Diego Breweries. For a time, he was the Senior Communications Specialist for Stone Brewing, but left to join AleSmith before eventually landing at Societe. I run into Brandon fairly regularly at beer functions and he’s become one of my favorite people to hang out with. Join me in wishing Brandon a very happy birthday.
Nice towering press photo of Brandon.

With a bevy of Celebrator writers in Chico for Beer Camp #93 in late 2012, to make a beer celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Celebrator Beer News. That’s Brandon sporting blond hair fourth from the left.
