Go say Hi to Fred!

There are few who get a beer named after them. Fred Eckhardt has more than one of them!

Hair of the Dog has honored Fred in several versions of Fred. As part of their 30th anniversary, Sierra Nevada brewed a special beer. Two years ago it was on tap at Venti's. He's even got a festival, the Fredfest. Yup, he's a big deal.

And  tonight he'll be at Mission Mill.

Go say hi to Fred!
