01/24 Bee's 50th Birthday

Some people take years to feel like family.
Bee did it in about five minutes.

In just over a year at Gyppo, Bee (a.k.a. Bryan Hartman) has quietly become one of those humans who makes everything better simply by being here. He shows up. He helps without being asked. He laughs easily, giggles often, and somehow finds time to do a hundred small, thoughtful things that make our days smoother and brighter. He didn’t just join the team—he snuck straight into our hearts.

So we’re doing what the Lost Coast does best: gathering the community to celebrate one of our own.

Come celebrate Bee’s 50th birthday
Saturday, January 24
Gyppo Ale Mill

We’re throwing a proper party with DJ James Oaks, coming out of DJ retirement(which alone feels historic). There will be dancing, good vibes, and yes, just maybe—Bee has requested pizza and ice cream cake, so we’re leaning into the joy.

This isn’t just a birthday. It’s a thank-you.
To a coworker who feels like family.
To a friend who makes people feel seen.
To an amazing human we’re grateful to know.

Come raise a glass, share a laugh, and help us celebrate 50 years of Bee.
Happy Birthday, Bryan. We’re lucky you’re here.
