Beer Birthday: Sean Paxton

October 20, 2024 By Jay Brooks

Today is the 52nd birthday of Sean Paxton, a.k.a. The Homebrew Chef. Sean is a mad alchemist in the kitchen and puts on some wonderful food and beer spectacles. Plus he’s a terrific homebrewer, an even better human being and a great friend. A few years ago, he spent a great deal of time redoing his website with great new recipes and an amazing interface that allows you to search, scale the recipes, convert measurements and much more. Check it out. He’s been sticking closer to home more recently. Join me in wishing Sean a very happy birthday.

    Happy Birthday Sean! The perfect day for you to crack open a nice aged bottle of hmm.. Pannepot? Westvleteren? Make it count.
    Cheers!

    Happy Birthday! Sean

    May I suggest a chocolate cake made with Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence Stout, Three Philosophers ice cream on the side, and any beer you’d like.

    Some of the best food I’ve ever had, ever, was at a Sean Paxton dinner. Happy Birthday Sean!
