"We had the opportunity to invest and partner with the Gordon Biersch management team in 2004 and worked closely with Allen and his team over seven years. They are not only great operators, but great people. Despite a negative market cycle throughout much of our ownership, the Gordon Biersch team delivered excellent operating results which facilitated a very profitable exit for our fund."
