Is there a difference in flavor between Maris Otter, Briess or any other? Or is all Pale Malt flavor the same?
For my money the British pale malts are noticeably richer in flavor than the domestic malts. BTW Maris Otter is a variety of barley and Briess is a malting company so the terms are describing two different things. Many of the British maltsters (Munton's, Crisp, Fawcett, etc) offer pale malt from multiple varieties of barley and they're all pretty good. It does matter what you prefer to brew and drink. The generally blander and drier profile of the domestic pale malts match up better with APAs and such while the British malts are perfect for UK bitters, ESB, porter etc.
