Today is 21st Amendment brewer and co-owner Shaun O’Sullivan’s 60th birthday — The Big 6-O. Shaun is a good friend and one my favorite people in the industry. He’s a tireless champion for craft beer and very supportive of other brewers, such as with his fun collaboration projects. He’s one of the founders and organizers of SF Beer Week and through his brewpub puts on many special and educational events all year, not to mention his extensive travel schedule. His new production brewery in San Leandro recently opened, and it appears to be going great. Plus, he’s one of the few people brave enough to read the rough draft of my book, Under the Table, and even claim to like it. Now that’s a friend. I just can’t say enough good things about Sully, so I’ll stop here. Join me in wishing Shaun a very Happy Birthday.

But this by far my favorite, it’s hard to understand how he could have given up all that to start a brewery.
Happy Birthday Sully!! What city are you in today?
Happy Bornday!
see you on the 2nd!
Happy Birthday Shaun!
The lederhosen shot is….priceless!
Great guy! Happy Birthday, Sully!
Happy Birthday, Shaun!
Rather than wishing a happy birthday, I think I’ll congratulate on having had one. Especially as this is a day late.
Hope you’re drinking 50 wonderful beers today Shaun!!!!!
Happy Birthday, Sully!
