Beer Birthday: J.J. Phair

February 23, 2024 By Jay Brooks

ej-phair
Today is the birthday of J.J. Phair, co-founder of E.J. Phair Brewing. J.J. started homebrewing in 1990, and ten years later opened his brewery, which is named for his grandfather Ewart John Phair, who was an amateur winemaker and beer lover, as a way to honor E.J. The brewery’s grown since then, and today there’s a taproom in Pittsburg and a pub in Alamo. Join me in wishing J.J. a very happy birthday.
