Today is Tomme Arthur’s 46th birthday. Tomme is Director of Brewery Operations for Port Brewing and the Lost Abbey. One of the established stars of the San Diego brewing scene, Tomme is justly famous for his terrific beers, like his Cuvee de Tomme, the Red Poppy, the Angel’s Share and the Track series. Plus, he introduced washoes to the brewing community. Join me in wishing Tomme a very happy birthday.

Happy bday Tomme!!! Ironically Harry is brewing a different version of your Double Date today but using raisins. He has done the date version you helped him with but wanted to try a different twist this time. We’ll toast to you when it’s done.
Vinnie who? Coliruzo? Looks kinda like that guy who helped with Porter’s Porter…
Happy Birthday to The Tomme!
That’s hilarious. That’s been there for several years, and nobody, including me, noticed it before. Thanks for pointing it out. Cheers, J
Hope you have a great bday Tomme!!!!! And many good beers!
