Beer Birthday: Dave Alexander

May 8, 2022 By Jay Brooks

brickskeller
Today is Dave Alexander’s 59th birthday. Until not too long ago, Dave was the co-owner, along with his wife Dianne, of the world famous Brickskeller beer bar in Washington, DC. They’re still rocking the beer world at their other beer bar: RFD, though he’s now retired and his son is running things day-to-day. Dave’s also a crack lead guitarist who often played with the Rolling Boil Blues Band. A few years ago at CBC Dave and Dianne received the Brewers Association Recognition Award. After retiring, Dave moved to Nashville, so it was great seeing him at CBC when it was there. Join me in wishing Dave a very happy birthday.

    Jay, Dave Alexander may be a crack bass player, but he I think he usually plays lead guitar with the RBBB. The time I heard him play at the CBC in Seattle in ’06 it was (blistering) lead.

    J: Craig be correct, sir. Dave is multi-talented and is a smoking lead player (Fender Strat) but will jump in on bass if necessary. He ad man!

    Cheers, Tom
