Tomme Arthur, ‘Rock Star of Yeast’
Hard to tell if Seattle Weekly columnist Maggie Dutton was more taken by brewer Tomme Arthur or his Lost Abbey beers. Following a beer dinner in Seattle here’s some of what she wrote:
- “He is so far upstream that his endless ideas and experiments are filtering into the mainstream only now.”
- “Tasting the beer is the equivalent of hearing Eddie Van Halen’s hammer-on style for the first time.”
- “If I’d had a lighter, I would have raised it in praise.”
Dutton is no pushover, which you’ll see if you visit her blog, The Wine Offensive.
