Given that they are more easily obtainable and usually cheaper than magic rock I will likely drink Brewdog more often but still intend to try all magic rock when i see them on draughtbeersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-37099444721781359942012-01-21T11:29:08.357+00:002012-01-21T11:29:08.357+00:00Good test.

Plus I didn't want to confuse my neighbour.<br /><br />I didn't eat any spicy/strong foods 24 hours before thetasting and drank water between each beer. That's the best I could do to give each beer its chance.beersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-37591879529641362092012-01-19T00:42:16.253+00:002012-01-19T00:42:16.253+00:00Hey Steve,

My thoughts on why the ranges are similar is that any brewery will have a core range of beers, beers that brought them to market, beers we know and love/hate that immediately identify the brand. The core beers a brewery brew will depend on a few things, but in this case I believe it was on personal preference; a pale ale, an amber ale and a double IPA. Similarity in brewery style in terms of the market they are appealing to, but I think the similarity ends there. Good tasting exercise though, nice work on the blind tastings. My favourites; Pale Ale - High Wire. Amber Ale - Rapture; Double IPA - Hardcore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-87959677854641257472012-01-18T10:46:56.664+00:002012-01-18T10:46:56.664+00:00They do sound quite similar from what I can see!They do sound quite similar from what I can see!Garethhttp://beeradvice.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
