Beer Birthday: Chris Black

By

falling-rock
Chris Black, who along with his brother, owned the Falling Rock, the best beer bar in Denver and HQ for beer people during GABF, turns 60 — The Big 6-O — today. Sadly, Chris not too long ago shut down the Falling Rock. Chris is a great guy and one of a handful of early Publicans across the country doing things right when it came to beer. Join me in wishing Chris a very 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.!!!!

    • 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)…

      Actually we served together on an Association of Brewer’s board (now Brewer’s Association) the intro went as follows:
      “White, Black. Black, White.”
