Today is Rob Widmer’s 68th birthday. Rob is, of course, one of the bros in Widmer Brothers. He and his brother Kurt helped found the Oregon Brewers Festival, created the style American Hefeweizen and are one of the few small brewers that have managed to retain their spirit and reputation as they’ve grown much larger. Join me in wishing Rob a very happy birthday.

Happy B-Day Rob !!!!
and Kudos to them for helping Kona w/CONUS sales by being a licensee to brew their brews & make them available to a greater audience!
Happy Birthday and thanks for staying older than me.
