It's a combination of factors. American yeast, for example, will differ from English yeast. The big difference between American craft beer and English beer is in the use of hops. American variations of traditionally English styles are almost always more heavily hopped than they would be in their native country. IPAs, in particular, are <em>much</em> hoppier here in the US. Legally speaking, we can't sell our beer. :) Re: Not being able to get an authentic bittier in the States. It’s a combination of factors. American yeast, for example, will differ from English yeast.

This most recent entry reminds me of my summer in the UK, hopping from pub to pub. I had some of the best brews of my life over there. A few of my favorites were had at the YHA- York, which (unlike most hostels we stayed at) had a fully stocked bar featuring almost every ale brewed in Yorkshire available in bottles or on tap. Truly a great experience. Sadly, the truly best bitters I had were local concoctions available only at the small village pubs we visited. I can't be sure if they even had a "name", and no matter how many pub ales, pale ales, IPAs and ESBs I try here in the States, none seem to get it quite right. There's just something about a British Real Ale... Anyway, loving the blog, keep up the good work, and if you ever decide to sell your brews, put me down for a case.
