“She was magnificent,” Chris Porter says of the 100-year-old woman who came to the Commercial Drive brewery earlier this week as part of her “birthday month.”

“They were in such high spirits they were such a fun group to host,” he says of the foursome. “It seemed like they’d be going for another hundred years.”
