Today is Larry Sidor’s 76th birthday. Larry brewed for a long time at the Olympia Brewery in Washington before moving on to Deschutes Brewing Co. in Bend, Oregon. He left Deschutes at the end of 2011 to strike out on his own, and opened the Crux Fermentation Project, which is also in Bend. More recently, Larry’s retired and the brewery was sold to Cascade Lakes Brewing as part of a brewery collective. Larry’s a great brewer, of course, and an even nicer person. Join me in wishing Larry a very happy birthday.
