Today is also the 55th birthday of John Pinkerton, founder and brewmaster of Moon River Brewing in Savannah, Georgia. He also brews some terrific beers and is great fun to drink a beer or three with. In addition, he helped to found the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild and is its current president. Join me in wishing John a very happy birthday.
