Is it weird to do a guide the past? For a lost world? Though I have done all that stuff about the DDR. There's a whole country that's gone forever.

Am I wasting my time?
ReplyDelete"Is it weird to do a guide the past? For a lost world?" It's worth it! Born in the 1980's I've never had the chance to drink the DDR beers,the british pale ales of the 1970's, the urquell in the 1980's. How Heineken brewed beer in WWII....Through your work theses beers stay alive. Helps me so much to understand it all.
I was born in 1985, and I am very appreciative that you’ve done this research. I don’t think you’re wasting your time. I think it is important and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI find all of your work interesting 🍻👍
ReplyDeleteI don't understand half of it, but I like nudging my understanding a fraction of an inch from time to time. I find the prose explanations and theories especially helpful.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a couple of extra columns for IBU's, colour etc.
Maybe some 'reader reminiscences' while those of us who drank those beers are still alive and retain our memories.
