Just got some great news this morning. Matt Brynildson, brewmaster at Firestone Walker, and his lovely wife Alison, had their first child this Wednesday. Alison gave birth to Mateo near the end of the day on February 27, arriving right on schedule. According to the proud papa, “Mateo Peter Brynildson was brewed, fermented and finally born to the sweet sounds of Bob Marley’s Babylon by Bus – Exodus. Both mom and baby are perfectly healthy and happy and still resting at [the] Hospital in SLO. The father is wondering why FW is not on tap here. Can’t wait to show him the brewhouse!”
