Today is the 56th birthday of Steve Gonzalez, who is the Senior Manager of Brewing and Innovation for Stone Brewing. Gonzalez started in the beer world with Miller, and was briefly with Gallo Winery before joining Stone a little over eight years ago. I not sure when I first met him, but it feels like it’s been a while now. I saw him at the grand opening to Stone’s new Napa location a few years back, but more recently at GABF judging. Join me in wishing Steve a very happy birthday.
