Beer Birthday: Jonathan Surratt

July 31, 2024 By Jay Brooks

Today is the 50th birthday — The Big 5-O — of Jonathan Surratt. Jonathan launched the Beer Mapping Project and also ran the website for DRAFT magazine before it folded. And Jonathan also created National Growler Day, though its exact date from year to year is still fluid, plus he’s a twitter diva, too. Join me in wishing Jonathan a very happy birthday.
