Today is Ralph Olson’s birthday. Ralph is the General Manager and owner of HopUnion, one of the world’s leading hop producers. But more importantly, Ralph is a great guy and big supporter of the craft brew industry.

Ralph Olson sandwiched between Jessica, the former event coordinator for the AOB and Chad Kennedy, brewer at Laurelwood Public House & Brewery in Portland, Oregon. You can see more photos of Ralph, including one in a bathing suit, on my Family Blog.
