Today is the 59th birthday of Ron Silberstein, the founder, and original brewer, of Thirsty Bear Brewing in San Francisco, and also co-owner of Admiral Maltings. I’ve known Ron for a number of years but got to know him better working on SF Beer Week the first few years when we working to get it going. We also spent a weekend together at Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp, which was an awesome experience for everybody who attended. Join me in wishing Ron a very happy birthday.

A very happy 50th to you Ron! Great fun last week.

Hey Ron,

Cheers,
