Mr. Murphy calls this out in his comments. First, you brew what is relatively straight forward and easy--English style ale. Then, you get some experience and you try other styles. Finally, you settle on a few styles or variations with which you are successful.<br /><br />Unlike home brewing Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522969360434191018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-20602639754910388422009-07-07T12:53:32.641-07:002009-07-07T12:53:32.641-07:00I thought the Radiant Summer Ale is way too much l...I thought the Radiant Summer Ale is way too much like their Spring Reign seasonal...

Not so in the past. The simple fact that so many American’s DON’T trace their roots to one country or another keeps them from feeling they need to brew as that foreign country does.
