Today is the 45th birthday of Gary Glass, Director of the American Homebrewers Association. Gary’s been with the Brewers Association for many a moon and has become the face of homebrewing in America. Join me in wishing Gary a very happy birthday. And relax, drink a homebrew, if you have one.

Gary is a great guy. Having the same last name, I made a joke with him about a decade ago. Now whenever my wife and I meet him (generally at GABF), he always greets us with a big smile and a greeting of, It’s the Glass family.
By the way, Erin is also a wonderful person.
Happy birthday Gary!
