It's striking that the best known "rules" for quality beer don't say anything about how the beer tastes, just about how to make it. The Reinheitsgebot tells you what you can put in beer, the CAMRA definition of real ale tells you how you can serve it. I suppose regulating things that can be objectively measured is easier than defining something as necessarily subjective as what a "good beer" is.Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114284681482585458.post-62848709671640067192010-03-26T22:52:48.043+00:002010-03-26T22:52:48.043+00:00Crackingly mad but interesting stuff.

So it effectively does away with the main fault of the "neat little cases" approach, i.e. all the beery round pegs that don't fit any of them square holes.Laurent Moussonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381315158768575211noreply@blogger.com
