Some brewers can brew and some can't, that's a fact of life, and I'm not on about personal preference here - I'm on about being able to create excellent recipes, brew consistently and well and suchlike; some people just can't do this!<br /><br />Agreed, personal taste matters to the person, but quality over-rides personal taste in that a good brewer is a good brewer regardless whether you like 'em or not.Gazza Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11834776854227668409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-1561925743210625352010-03-01T17:31:39.924+00:002010-03-01T17:31:39.924+00:00True, but it wouldn't be much fun if we just l...True, but it wouldn't be much fun if we just left it at that would it?Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-66250539366554405662010-03-01T17:04:51.326+00:002010-03-01T17:04:51.326+00:00It's just down to taste.

So if you only brew one beer or the beers are only available in your brewpub I don't think you qualify as a 'great brewery'.<br /><br />A list of English 'great breweries' would I suggest include Adnams, Fullers, Holts, Hydes, Lees, Moorhouses, Robinsons, Shepherd Neame, Timothy Taylor and Wells & Youngs (based on personal experience and admittedly a little Northern-centric).Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310220100267028274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-3739721127581829062010-02-26T21:10:20.739+00:002010-02-26T21:10:20.739+00:00Great Breweries and Great Beer’ all sounds a bit p...Great Breweries and Great Beer’ all sounds a bit pretentious really.

I'm thinking mash tun digging, malt-bag carrying cross country, cask washing competitions (dry-hopped and non dry-hopped), the kilderkin press etc. Colin and I do this sort of stuff regularly, which, when we're caught, usually gets us a bollocking and an elf n safety lecture.<br /><br />Sorry to hear the beer was shite last night.

A few messages later we mentioned semantics, and that's important. Twitter, because of the 140 character limit, is necessarily short. Me saying that Scotland has a few great breweries worth checking out is not to label them as some of the best breweries in the world, it's to name a few worth seeking out - Orkney, Harviestoun, Fyne, Cairngorm, Williams, etc. And if I say Orval, for example, is a great beer, others can easily disagree as it's a personal thing.<br /><br />Whether they are all 'great breweries', I don't know, but they make some great beers, which is good enough for me. I agreed with Barry's comment about great beer rather than great breweries because I think you need to consider a brewery by their beer and nothing else. What makes Paulaner a great brewery if their beers are not great? Could the same be said for Budweiser? I agree that some recognition of their place in brewing lore is important, but that's something which is hard to define in the moment. I guess the fact that we know about the breweries and are talking about them is enough to give them a place for now?<br /><br />Marble has great brewers who make great beers but are they are great brewery yet? This can get into a whole philosophical discussion... I guess it's easy to say that a brewery is great (it's a casual thing, like saying that film was great, or I had a great dinner), and easy to say why (I enjoy the beer), but it's harder to define what a great brewery actually is or what it should be (the same as describing a great restaurant, which won't appeal to everyone and will have some dishes which aren't to everyone's tastes, even the biggest fans). <br /><br />Like I say, it's an interesting idea.Mark Dredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421095862178324693noreply@blogger.com
