Don’t know how many of you get Joe Six Pack (aka Don Russel). In particular, I found this article on defunct styles interesting, as I must confess I was not familiar with most of them. (If you have ever heard of a Kentucky Common, my hat is off to you!). I have had the Polish style beer – pretty tasty actually.

One reply on “Dead Soldiers – Stylewise”
i’ve not had any of the examples listed, but i have heard of a few of these styles from two sources: of course Radical Brewing by Randy Mosher (really a good history book), and Beer Advocate. The ‘Fermented Culture’ column is written by Ron Pattinson, and has featured historical beer information. Actually, Pattinson’s blog has loooads of british beer history. they even have brewed plenty of the old recipes!
