But it also points out one way in which the US is woefully behind you guys--we really have no appreciation for small beers. Anything under 5% is a session ale here--and pretty rare.<br /><br />Matt, thanks for confirming my numbers on the IBUs.

Jack R, I rarely calculate IBUs (we do for the bottled beers)and agree with Beer Nut, IBU number and reality (taste) are often not the same. Frankly, I don't evenn like 'having' to state IBUs. But alas we do. <br />Finally, it is a good idea to recreate regional styles using authentic ingredients, and then again, Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678380089516192175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-88803292948304093972011-01-13T12:34:43.728-08:002011-01-13T12:34:43.728-08:00A nice fairly balanced British style beer sounds l...A nice fairly balanced British style beer sounds like a fine addition to the Oregon beer community even though I'd prefer a "British Style" Pale ale to actually use British Hops along with the British produced Maris Otter Pale Malt. While Willamette hops are readily available in the NW, they are a rather simple earthy hop, not to different from the original British Fuggle.

I, too, enjoy cask beers, and I was amused that a brewer friend of mine who is in a training program in Scotland said he misses U.S.-style carbonated beers. He said all the cask pints tend to bore after awhile.<br /><br />Too much of a good thing?
