BYO's American Black Ale article.................?

How can they say that the beer Greg Noonan was brewing in the 90’s cant be substantiated?
I’m sure the current brewers at the Vermont Brewpub can pull out some of Gregs old notes…

If its because this beer is solely reliant on hops grown in the Cascadian region then we better re-name the American IPA and IIPA too. Arent about 100% of those beers also reliant on Cascadian hops?

Side, my thorn has one in it
