Beer Birthday: Brian Ford

February 6, 2026 By Jay Brooks

auburn-alehouse
Today is the 62nd birthday of Brian Ford, owner/brewer at the Auburn Alehouse near Sacramento, California. Brian previously brewed at Beermann’s Beerworks, but left before they closed well over a decade ago. His new place is in an old historic building, a really cool space, where he’s making some more great beer. Join me in wishing Brian a very happy birthday.

And here’s Brian with Glynn Phillips, from Rubicon, at the same event.
