Thornbridge, Buxton, Magic Rock, Summer Wine and Steel City all feature regularly, with a strong reference even if not a desire to recreate American styles. <br /><br />Its interesting the description you give of the US versions - if I'm to be honest, even though its meant to be amazing, I don't get on with the likes of Stone, Flying Dog, Odell and others, maybe that caramelly edge is what turns me off? <br /><br />Either way I still think there will be a change of direction, during which perhaps the distinctiveness of British ale across all styles will show itself more strongly.wee beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922755344809968104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87120916463415542.post-59396811382142851662012-06-30T15:38:41.438+01:002012-06-30T15:38:41.438+01:00I don't agree that British brewers have been c...I don't agree that British brewers have been copying the beers made by the Americans. Inspired, without a doubt. But pale 'n' hoppy is distinctively different from American Pale Ale by being more bitter, less caramelly and lower in alcohol to fit British drinking behaviour.Barmhttp://refreshingbeer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
