One thing taht annoys me is that US ratings site invariably obscure the traditional beers by rating US-brewed beers higher. There's the double effect that if they try a US variant on a style first and have preconceived ideas on what the original is going to taste like and it doesn't meet their expectations, they'll rate it lower. Even if the newer beer couldn't have existed without the earlier.beersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-24004514661198261072012-01-11T13:05:59.221+00:002012-01-11T13:05:59.221+00:00Hmm.

(The answer is no, but it's a poor value one.) This is why, in the global craft beer market, strong and wacky styles are king. Imported US bitters and Koelsches are rarely exciting, even if there's nothing really wrong with them.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-64618660013665176402012-01-10T10:39:05.931+00:002012-01-10T10:39:05.931+00:00I had forgotten I'd asked Ales by Mail to rese...I had forgotten I'd asked Ales by Mail to reserve so many!

This ...You don't do things by halves do you! ;)<br />This will be quite the post once completed, not sure I've seen anyone else review the range? I've tried a handful of them in the Imperial Stout, Porter, Saison and Brown Ale. Heard great things about the IPA and will pay the price if I see it. Looking fwd to the next installment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-90753742234724603722012-01-09T21:12:09.742+00:002012-01-09T21:12:09.742+00:00good write up, obviously good quality across most ...good write up, obviously good quality across most of their rangearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046512935179787759noreply@blogger.com
