Happy Birthday Mr. Steve Beauchesne

Steve Beauchesne, the energetic and passionate co-founder/owner of Vanleek Hill's, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co., is celebrating a birthday today, or so Facebook tells me.

Steve left his cozy job working for the provincial government to start the brewery with his father Tim back in 2005, and in 2006 the brewery opened their doors. Together, along with the rest of the Beau's team, Steve has taken the eastern brewery from humbling beginnings and turned it into a very successful business, growing at a very healthy rate.

He looks after marketing and promotions for the brewery and has done an incredible job (imo) building brand awareness throughout Ontario with their signature Lug-Tread Lagered Ale. Steve also documents his adventures in the brewing industry on his blog, How To Start A Brewery (in 1 million easy steps).

Happy Birthday Steve!
