I'm just curious - if you owned a BrewPub and could have six styles of Ale - what six styles would you choose.
This is awesome - keep it coming - remember - not a wish list but what will sell.
How 'bout a little quid pro quo?
Simple Sausages, freshly baked breads and hearty soups on the menu --
Maybe a barmaid named Greta.
Bottles of mead and cider available when available
IIPA
American Wheat
American Brown
Rotating Stout (Imperial, dry, seasonal)
Rotating Belgium (Gold Strong, Tripel, Saison)
Barley Wine
APA - basically an English Bitter style I suppose

I think a Kolsch is a great way to go, but you are asking here. We all love strong, in-your-face brews. If you are going to limit us to 6, we will pick a big 6.
Two totally different styles.
In fact that is the first sentence "American brewers tend to think that bitters and Pale Ales are two distinct styles. IN truth the various entries for bitter and pale ales are more alike then are the substyles of many other categories.
many writers and brewers who have studied the British beer scene conclude that bitter and pale ales are virtually the same.
further below . . . . . . Although there are some differences between bitter and pale ale, the two are descended from the same linage, and they share far more similarities then differences. Furthermore, recipe formulation for bitters and pale ales are almost identical - the recipe rely on the same malts and hops and same brewing procedures.
HOWEVER - do you put a pale ale in the same category as an APA? Perhaps that is where I am wrong???
