Today is fellow beer writer and blogger extraordinaire Stan Hieronymus’ 59th birthday. Stan recently penned Brew Like a Monk, a terrific book on abbey and trappist styles, and earlier, along with his wife, wrote several books on beer traveling along with food and beer. He also writes the Real Beer blog, Beer Therapy, along with Appellation Beer, Beer Travelers, and Postcards from a Barstool, and Brew Like a Monk, the blog. Join me in wishing Stan a happy birthday.

Hi J,
Thanks, although you could have left out the age ;>)
Makes it more obvious why I spend time investigating what happens to our taste buds as we age. In theory you lose 20-60% by the time you are 60, though this is subject to some debate.
It matters to medical types because of the concern that as people age they may be inclined to eat sweeter foods (sugarey, not as good for you) as they look for more flavor.
I think the alternative is to seek out bigger and bolder - hoppier beers, spicier foods, etc.
So I spent the morning (home)brewing and this afternoon we roasted green chiles from the garden.
Must be time now for a beer. So your blog gets to be the official home of my birthday post because I’m not posting that way-too-long list above.
Prosit - Stan

Happy Birthday Stan,
Many thanks for all the inspiration over the years via your written words. My latest expedition into the world of caramelizing sugar (inspiration from “Brew Like a Monk”) has got me in the middle of a 12% Abbey style Quad that is our 1000th batch and 12th anniversary beer all wrapped in one. Should be ready in a a couple months. Keep the faith, and here’s to bigger bolder beers.
Cheers!!

Happy Birthday, Stan! It’s my Grannie’s birthday as well. Although I believe she has more than a few years on you, she’s pretty cool, too. ;-)
Many happy returns,
Lisa
