Jamie Mistry, the brewmaster for Toronto's Amsterdam Brewing Company, is celebrating a birthday today.Mistry started off his brewing career 17 years ago with a lab position at the Upper Canada Brewing Company before eventually moving onto Steam Whistle, helping them get up and running. From there Mistry brewed for the Cool Brewing Company for a number of years before leaving to steer the ship at Amsterdam in August 2008 where he currently is today, pumping out a number of new beers while tweaking some of the regulars.
Mistry received some good press this year for his work with a local homebrewer, Derek Hyde, re-creating Hyde's personal Doppelbock recipe on a large scale. That beer went on to win a gold medal at the Canadian Brewing Awards and won a Editor's Choice award at the Golden Tap awards.
Happy birthday Jamie!
