Gose: Brewing a Classic German Beer for the Modern Era

Awesome book. I love the story it tells about possibly one of the most interesting beers to ever exist. I’m in Colombia and starting a brewery and plan to brew some Goses since the style doesn’t really exist in South America but they have all this amazing fruit and herbs that will blend perfectly with the acidity and salt. I like knowing the history because it gives me more context for how to shape my recipes and I corporate more art and history into the beer. I might switch to a wild fermentation instead of kettle sour to better match the original style and add more complexity.

Good information

Well written and informative

In what has to be the high watermark from here on out regarding books about Gose beer (I don't know what's all out there, so I can't be too certain), Fal Allen constructs what's best described as a textbook, but for the Gose style. It's rife with explanatory figures and pictures that serve to clarify points and/or instruct would-be brewers; the history (what Allen could accumulate, from what I gather) is lovingly presented on the front end of the book and points out the unique and peculiar path that the Gose has taken to its current iteration.There's a ton of (presumably invaluable aggregated) information on how to go about creating a Gose (along with numerous recipes), and you're littered with suggestions if you wish to take slight divergences on getting your final product (e.g. how/when to sour the beer), which may be backed up by Allen with scientific data, stories regarding trial and error, or a bit of both.It'll even tell you how to pour one, and what kind of glass to use.Food history is an awesome subgenre, and this book is a deserving addition to the collection. I was already a fan of the Gose, so this makes me a lot of things---appreciative, wowed, and, most importantly, thirsty.Many thanks to NetGalley and Brewers Publications for the advance copy.

The author paid special tribute to a distinguished class of beer while tracing it back to its birthplace. The subject of this book, Gose, the beer of legend, goes way back into the foothills of Germany some 1,000 years ago, fittingly, in a town called Goslar. Dated sources indicated that the process of brewing beer then was not as refined as it is today. That comes as no surprise. Oh, how those poor Germans must have suffered.The subsequent history of Gose from its very beginnings to present day were clearly defined. This well-written book came with many illustrations and made for an interesting read. I believe it's time for a cold one.I offer my thanks to NetGalley and Brewery Publications for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Non riesco a capire perché su un libro dedicato ad uno stile di birra così particolare ci debbano essere così tante pagine dedicate alla storia in gran parte basata su illazioni, dato che non ci sono riferimenti storici reali. Altrettante pagine vengono dedicate a consigli generici a come si fa la birra; chi acquista un libro del genere è una persona che è interessata alla birra in sé oppure si tratta di qualcuno che la birra la sa già fare e non ha bisogno che gli vengano ripetuti sempre gli stessi consigli.Sconsigliato
