RIP Bill Brand

[Shawn, the Beer Philosopher]

We're saddened to report that our friend, and fellow Aleuminati member, Bill Brand passed away as a result of his train accident nearly two weeks ago. If you're so inclined to leave a message of condolence on his guest book, please do so here.

We'll miss you Bill!

Is this the Bill Brand, who wrote a beer column for the Oakland, CA Tribune?

[Rob DeNunzio]

Yes, one and the same. There's a guest book at the Tribune here.

I answered my own question: http://www.ibabuzz.com/bottomsup/

Very sad. R.I.P., sir.

[Corbin Choate]

Good-bye Bill. I will miss reading about your adventures and insights on fine beer tremendously.
It was a pleasure.

[Leigh @ The Good Stuff]

Drink on, Bill

[John LeMasney]

We all toasted Bill Brand spontaneously at the Twitter Taste Live transatlantic stouts last night. To Bill! #TTL It was a fitting brew too, Sam Smith's Imperial Stout.
