Ray Daniel’s Heart

September 22, 2008 By Jay Brooks

Yes, I mean that literally. While I would argue that Ray Daniels — author, publisher, real ale festival organizer and Cicerone founder — has plenty of heart, I only recently learned that he underwent open heart surgery. The surgery took place on August 11 and by all accounts was very successful. In typical writer’s fashion, Ray has started a blog about his recent experiences — A Healing Heart — where you can read all about it.

I admit to a few panicked moments earlier today when I realized it hadn’t been updated since August 12, but I made a call and have been assured he’s not only doing great, but is back at work already. I tried to reach Ray, but was only able to leave a message. If you know Ray Daniels, let him now you’re thinking of him and let’s all wish him a speedy recovery.

    Jay,

    Sorry I wasn’t here to get your call.

    I’m just back from my first trip after the surgery and happy to report that all is going well. I have been able to drink beer now for almost two weeks and plan to be at GABF as usual. See you–and everyone else–there.

    Thanks for the call and the care.

    Cheers,

    Ray

    I have only met him once at the GABF a couple years back but he was a really nice guy. I’ve been brewing professionally now for 10 years and I still reference my copy of Designing Great Beers for new brews regularly. Glad to hear Ray is doing well after surgery, I wish him a continued speedy recovery.
