Beer Birthday: Marty Nachel


Today is the 66th birthday of beer writer Marty Nachel, author of Beer For Dummies and Homebrewing For Dummies. I’ve gotten to know Marty better over the last few years, judging the finals of the Longshot Homebrew competition and the World Beer Awards, and he’s a great person to share a pint with. This week, we also judging together in South Africa. Join me in wishing Marty a very happy birthday.

In South Africa a couple of years ago.
Last beers before we would begin judging the next day in Toronto for the first Canadian Beer Cup.
