Historic Beer Birthday: Ray Deter

March 19, 2023 By Jay Brooks 6 Comments

dba
Today would have been the 66th birthday of Publican extraordinaire Ray Deter, who passed away tragically several years ago after he was struck by a car while riding his bicycle in New York City. Ray was the owner of the d.b.a. beer bars in New York City (Manhattan and Brooklyn) and also New Orleans. He is most definitely missed by those of us who knew him. Please join me in raising a toast today to the memory of Ray Deter. Happy birthday Ray.

    I grew up literally right around the corner from Ray. A great guy with a great soul, and a beer visionary in his own right. Gone too soon. Here’s to you, Ray…
