Ken Grossman on Fred Eckhardt
I first met Fred Eckhardt as a fledgling homebrewer back in the early ’70s through his book “A Treatise on Lager Beers.” Fred’s was one of the first books focusing on the small-scale brewing of quality beer, and a major influence on my brewing.
Years later, during our 30th Anniversary celebration, I had the opportunity to brew with him, and we really got to know each other in a different way.
