Today is the 44th birthday of Derek Smith, who is the brewmaster at Moylan’s Brewing in Novato, California. When I first met Derek he was brewing at Black Diamond Brewing, but in 2013, he started brewing at Moylan’s, and he’s been doing great things there ever since. Join me in wishing Derek a very happy birthday.
