Beer Birthday: Steve Wagner

April 5, 2023 By Jay Brooks

stone
Today is Steve Wagner’s 65th birthday. Steve is a co-founder of Stone Brewing and the president of the California Craft Brewers Association. In the late 1980s, Steve was a member of the band “The Balancing Act,” who put out several albums on I.R.S. Records. Now he just presides over one of the most successful microbreweries in the U.S. Join me in wishing Steve a very happy birthday.

    I just saw that not only do Steve and I share the same name and reside in the same county, but we also have the same birthday-though mine is 1o years earlier. Happy 54th coming up next month!
