Beer Birthday: Tom Nickel
by @ 7:29 am. Filed under Events, California, San Diego, Birthdays

Today is Tom Nickel’s birthday, who turns 36 this year. Tom was a brewer at Oggi’s in San Diego and now owns O’Brien’s, one of the best beer bars in San Diego. Join me in wishing Tom a very happy birthday.

Tom Nickel (third from the left) at OBF with John Harris from Full Sail to his left and Tom’s former girlfriend Becky on his arm. I can’t recall now who the fellow is on the far left.

Tom in the dunk tank to raise money for the brewer’s guild the night before OBF at the brewer’s dinner.
