I've had some resistance to this at some beer bars. I'll ask for a half and half of something and they'll reply, "we don't do that here." Of course after I say a polite word or two to the manager it gets poured for me, but the automatic responce is to never blend beer.
Seems like there's two camps of thought on this, even with brewers. Some, like lambic brewers depend solely on blending beers to make their final product. Other brewers simply see blending as "muddying" their product, making it into something they never intended.
Personally I like blending beers, the partigyle from Anchor is a perfect example. I blended the Small Beer and the Foghorn back together and made a beer better than the two were apart. Honestly I wish Anchor had just combined the two runnings and made the beer that way, instead of splitting them up.
