Beer Birthday: Rodger Davis

January 5, 2023 By Jay Brooks

Today is Rodger Davis’ 53rd birthday. He’s the former head brewer at Triple Rock in Berkeley, California, and several years ago opened his own brewery in Alameda, Faction Brewing, along with his wife Claudia. Rodger is a terrific brewer and has been very active in the local beer community and it’s great to see him at the helm of his own place. He’s one of those people always giving the craft beer world a good name, helping colleagues, organizing festivals and being a good friend to all. If only he could keep his tongue in his mouth. Join me in wishing Rodger a very happy birthday.

    Good luck Rodger, & may whomever succeeds you @ Triple Rock maintain! The variety & quality you’ve provided there are the best it’s ever seen.
