After following the blog for some time I think it certainly slides in neatly beside Ron Pattinson's, Shut Up About Barclay Perkins. Where his is focused mainly on the major breweries you have info on the smaller, provincial brewers. My one suggestion would be to include a version of the recipes that modern homebrewers can follow. While it is most interesting to read the historic processes as they would have been performed in the 1800's, very few homebrewers use the complex or multi step procedures of mashing, boiling and hop additions as described. Just like the Homebrewers Association's magazine will include both an all grain and an extract version of their featured recipes perhaps you could include a homebrewers interpretation along side the historic version.
