Book Review: Historical Brewing Techniques by Lars Marius Garshol

Abstract

My fascination with Scandinavian yeast rings let me to meet Lars Marius Garshol, online, several years ago. It was refreshing to meet someone, even if only online, who, just like I, enjoys the practical aspects of enjoying and brewing a good home brew as well as being deeply fascinated with its traditions and history. We shared research, compared notes, and had lively discussions, even though one of us lived in the US and the other in Norway. His logical way of thinking guided by fact and not assumption made for a very valuable discussion partner.
