Chris Black, who along with his brother, owns the Falling Rock, the best beer bar in Denver and HQ for beer people during GABF, turns 55 today. Chris is a great guy and one of a handful of early Publicans across the country doing things right when it came to beer, something that happily we’re seeing more of now. Join me in wishing Chris a very happy birthday.
Chris and me toward the end of the night at GABF several years ago.

Hey Chris, Happy Birthday!!!
I’ve enjoyed the conversations we’ve had when I’ve been in Denver. Come hit Barclays in Oakland
next time you’re in town & I’ll stand you a round!!
Keep up the great work.!!!!
Is Chris Black’s arch enemy Chris White?
I think it’s more like were Evil Opposites, only we can’t decide on who’s the more evil one (insert diabolical Dr. Evil laugh here)…
Chris
Actually we served together on an Association of Brewer’s board (now Brewer’s Association) the intro went as follows:
“White, Black. Black, White.”
The Falling Rock is an excellent bar, and Chris makes it that way. Especially during GABF. Happy birthday Chris!
Happy Birthday Mr. Black!
Happy Birthday Chris!
Say “Hi” to Cheryl and have a fabulous day! Best wishes.
We try to have as many staff meetings at Falling Rock during GABF as possible!
