Bibliographie des Brauwesens

content:
In addition to the expansion and maintenance of the library, publication is the second core area of the GGB. Two bibliographies of brewing have been published since the Society was founded. Fritz Schoellhorn, a founding Swiss member of the GGB, succeeded in uniting colleagues from Germany, England, Sweden and Czechoslovakia in his Bibliography of Brewing, published in 1928. Titles from Russia and France also found attention here. This bibliography is unfortunately out of print, but you are welcome to order the follow-up work by Ingo Roggan from us. Additions from recent years are regularly published in the annual GGB Yearbook. In this way, scholars as well as collectors have quick access to the literature relevant to them. In addition, the GGB publishes monographs on the history of brewing with a wide variety of questions.
