We are planning a 60th birthday party fo my parents this summer and I would like to brew a couple of beers to have available. I know my tastes tend to run towards the extremes so I need some ideas about what most people might like drinking.
Whats beers have you brewed that have gone over well with friends who don't usually try craft brews?
My parents don't drink beer so this won't be for them. I don't really know all the invites but I don't think many drink much but I don't think anybody is going to be offended if beer is available either.
I would like to brew something that I would drink if there are leftovers but all my ideas for popular beers (American wheat, fruit beer, blonde ale) are styles I don't care for.
It has to be an ale as I don't have lagering capabilities.
I am already planning a Dark Mild but I want a second beer that is different from the mild.
Would an Ordinary Bitter or Special Bitter go over well? Or how about a Dunkelwessien with munich and a little carmel malts?
Any ideas?
