Today is the birthday of David Zamborski, better known to the brewing world as simply “Zambo.” He used to brew for BJs in Southern California but then number of years ago moved to San Francisco to take over the brewpub operations at 21st Amendment, where he spent several years. and later he moved to Speakeasy Ales & Lagers, where he was the Director of Brewing. Wanting to get back to his brewpub roots, Zambo was until recently the brewmaster and Santa Barbara Brewing, and since we were there on vacation a few years ago, stopped in for a few pints and to hang out. Zambo was doing great things there, he’s a terrific brewer, but he later left for another L.A. brewery, Paperback Brewing, but more recently i brewing at the Fowler Ranch Farm Brewery in Lincoln, California. Join me wishing Zambo a very happy birthday.
