Ron has pointed out the nonsense about Gose before. Dornbusch is just not a reliable source about anything. I think every page on his site has some jaw-dropping howler on it. He thinks Mumme and Broyhan were the same thing, for potato's sake.Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-17381322500564660482010-12-30T08:07:51.381-08:002010-12-30T08:07:51.381-08:00But nothing in all of Dornbusch's writings are...But nothing in all of Dornbusch's writings are as offensive as this excerpt from his book on Helles:<br /><br />"John C.

He has no business even speaking of any other brewing regions of the world and he, like many other (primarily Stateside) 'experts' need a lesson in how to do real research before opening one's mouth.Neil Spakehttp://www.ScottishBrewing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-66282184697438467412010-12-29T19:43:11.715-08:002010-12-29T19:43:11.715-08:00Ron, I saw an ad for this book back in November an...Ron, I saw an ad for this book back in November and was waiting for your reaction to it. I'm surprised that I didn't hear your howls of rage here in the unfashionable, but less snowy, bits of NY State.<br /><br />Get yourself a pint of something tasty and strong, go look at some brewery logs and calm down. If it helps, consider Dornbusch's book to be the 21st century answer to Bickerdyke's "Curiosities of Beer and Ale."Thomas Barnesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-32444073662936367612010-12-29T11:08:32.435-08:002010-12-29T11:08:32.435-08:00You will be delighted to hear that Protz himself h...You will be delighted to hear that Protz himself has a book out next year on, believe it or not, the history of brewing in Burton.
