knows beer …

I am Horst Dornbusch. For almost three decades, I have been an author, presenter, brewer, recipe developer, and brewing industry consultant; and I would like to share my appreciation of beer with you.

The subject of beer never ceases to fascinate me. Beer-making has been part of humanity ever since the dawn of civilization. It has touched almost every aspect of our lives and cultures … from science and agriculture, to religion, law-making and politics, even our climate … and, of course, the culinary arts. If enjoyed responsibly, it is a delightful and indispensable lubricant of social conviviality.

I truly enjoy entertaining and educating both beer lovers and beer professionals about the sublime beauty that a truly good drop of brew represents. I have instilled in readers and audiences young and old, from all walks of life, in groups large and small, and in formal and informal settings, an understanding and a love of this complex, versatile, and rewarding beverage. It is an often overlooked culinary jewel.

Let me take you on a journey of exploration and discovery into the realm of these fermented extracts from the humble grain and awaken within you a fondness for all its glory. Perhaps one day we will meet and enjoy a glass together.
