(Garrett Oliver) continues: “All this about a person whom he has not met or had so much as a conversation with”. Actually, I’ve met Garrett at least twice, and had conversations with him each time. But I’m sure he meets thousands of people every year, and I doubt there’s anything that made me stand out amid the huge number of other bearded beer buffs he has talked to.

It worries me that he attacks me as “the blogger Martyn Cornell”. I’ve written two books about the history of British brewing and the history of British beer styles, which have involved many years of research – that’s my bona fides – and I’d like to hope I have a reputation as a beer historian rather than a blogger.

More context here and here.
