Beer Birthday: Teri Fahrendorf

February 18, 2025 By Jay Brooks

pink-boots-society
Today is brewer Teri Fahrendorf‘s 29th birthday again. That number is pure conjecture, but it sure seems right for a woman who spent a year or so on the road, criss-crossing the United States twice visiting friends and colleagues in the brewing world. Sadly, I was out-of-town when she passed through the Bay Area that year. Teri was the brewmaster for the Steelhead Brewing chain for nearly two decades before leaving on her odyssey. You can relive that journey her Road Brewer adventures. She also founded the Pink Boots Society, an organization celebrating women in the brewing industry. More recently, she’s retired from brewing and creating wonderful pottery at her Rain Dragon Studio in Portland. Join me in wishing Teri a very happy birthday.

    Teri’s probably getting close to/reached the next “ending in 9” prime # after 29 (she’s a contemporary age of mine – I’m soon to be exiting the 1st of 2 60’s prime # ages) … may she reach 101! In between, savor 67, 71,73, 79, 83, 89, & 97 & hope the beer proteins keep the brain intact!
