He was obviously a local legend. Little did I know he was an international one, too.

Here I was in Vermont, unable to track down many of the Pacific Northwest and Big Sky Country craft brews. I called Don, he made recommendations, and packaged up and shipped me a box of bottles, including a couple of bonus beers from his private collection... I never met Don face to face, only talked to him on the phone, but the man was a huge part of the book and of my further beer education. Slainté, Don - you are already missed.<br />Scott Russell, vthomebrewguru.comScott Russellhttp://www.vthomebrewguru.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30743480.post-29292830200153241402011-01-31T23:23:37.814+00:002011-01-31T23:23:37.814+00:00Very well said.

As of last night, Don was in the hospital and perhaps "not expected to survive the night", but you're the only person who I've seen actually report his passing. None of the beer folk about town that I'm in touch with have updated since last night.<br /><br />At any rate, you're right about all the rest of it. I'll stop into the Horse Brass this evening for a pint and a memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
