Dortmund Style Beers
Fred Eckhardt in A Treatise on Lager Beers published in 1969, set the scene for the view that Dortmunder is a distinctive enough pale lager to be classed as a separate beer style. Jackson, and Roger Protz have continued this trend, though it has been with a certain faint heart, and an unease at pinning down exactly the distinctive nature of the beer. Brewers outside of Germany who brew beers they term Dortmunder will tend to brew a pale lager with a soft, rounded character.
Beers described as Dortmunder or Dortmunder Export are also brewed in Denmark, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Canada, and the US, such as Dortmunder Gold by Great Lakes Brewing Company in Cleveland, Ohio.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“There are neither good nor bad subjects. From the point of view of pure Art, you could almost establish it as an axiom that the subject is irrelevant, style itself being an absolute manner of seeing things.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
