Happy Birthday Mr. Bowden

My good buddy John Bowden over at Great Lakes Brewery is celebrating his birthday today. Well, he actually celebrated on Saturday night with a good ol' fashion pub crawl through the streets of Toronto after attending Georgeapalooza, but today is the offical day.

Bowden has been with Great Lakes for almost four years now doing a number of roles around the brewery, including the handling LCBO sales, licensee sales, looking after the various marketing initiatives and promoting events at Great Lakes, help out with deliveries, and pretty much anything else that needs to be done. Bowden is also taking advantage of the small pilot system the brewery has in the brewhouse as he's been involved in creating a number of one-offs with other staff for sampling at Project 'X' nights, something I've been able to take part in.

I haven't seen him since Saturday, so here's hoping he survived. Happy birthday John.
