Beer Birthday: Kevin West

June 5, 2023 By Jay Brooks

Today is the 62nd birthday of Kevin West, who has worked at Anchor Brewing for just under thirty years, and is currently lead brewer. He started as a bottler, and worked as a tour guide for a time in the late 1990s, but joined the brewing team twenty years ago. I’m not sure when exactly I first met Kevin, but it was a good while ago, and I certainly remember a memorable night at The Falling Rock in Denver watching Giants playoff baseball. But he’s a great advocate for craft beer in the Bay Area and Anchor in specific, of course. Join me in wishing Kevin a very happy birthday.
