Greg Noonan was a pioneer in home-brewing methodology, an acclaimed brewing author, a co-founder of one of the first brewpubs in New England, an innovator in professional brewing techniques and a truly great publican. He opened the Vermont Pub and Brewery in Burlington, VT in 1988 after getting the legislature to pass a bill to accommodate the concept of brewpubs. In 1993, Greg wrote Scotch Ale for the Classic Beer Styles series from Brewers Publications and followed that with a revision of his original work titled New Brewing Lager Beer, in 1996. He received the Recognition Award from the American Homebrewers Association in 1997, the Achievement Award from Brewers Association in 2004, the Russell Schehrer Award for Innovation in Brewing in 2005 and numerous posthumous awards. The most oft-repeated accolade about Greg Noonan was that he always took the time to talk to anyone interested in brewing.
