Today is the 70th birthday — the Big 7-O — of Dave Keene. Dave, of course, owns the best beer bar in San Francisco, the Toronado, which has been around for over 30 years. Dave is one of the great figures in the San Francisco beer scene and also one of my favorite Washoe partners, and we’ve had some monumental games and vanquished many fine players — you know who you are! Join me in wishing Dave a very happy birthday.
Here’s to ya Big Daddy. You are the force behind the Brewing revolution.

Hope you have a great bday Dave!!! Just back from Ohio Brew Week, Germany and Prague and leaving tomorrow for Cincy for my high school reunion and have lots of great pubs and breweries lined up but none will compare to Toronado. Many great beers for you today!!!
If eversomeone creates a “Publican Hall of Fame”, Dave & the late Don Younger would be the 1st inductees for sure! Keep on Toronadoin’, Dave!
