A couple to start your hit list Johnny, I dare say there would be more. Culturing lactobacillus from yoghurt is a fairly well known technique. I can imagine it isn't easy and could be done badly but never having tried one I couldn't comment on that. For what my view is worth, cucumber, mint and lemon in beer sound ok, garlic and dill not so much.

I does appear to be a common recurring theme on homebrew forums that if something isn't to taste, therefore it is wrong or not properly brewed. Probably a result of human nature to fear what they don't understand.

When pretty much all changes to uk beer styles over the last century have been the result of taxation, industrialisation and capitalism, I find the whole concept of trad styles being the pinnacle of brewing expertise, amusing.

Don't get me wrong, a well brewed and served cask ale is a wondrous thing, but it largely tastes the way it does due to wave after wave of constraints on brewers.

Craft (and homebrewers) are now free to be creative with a whole host of techniques, new and old.

Sounds very conceited to say a brewer should be shot, or to have write them a letter of compliant, just because you don't like a beer, despite admitting that it tastes as advertised.

That's a good point - I remember being in the pub with a mate who ordered a gueze for the first time. He took it back, complaining that it was off only to be sent packing having been told that that was how it was supposed to taste!

I might be strange but I would try a bottle of that if I saw it mad hatter make some great beers. However I would think twice about this beer soured with ******lly lacto, then you see the woman they used for the culture, and, erm? "Yeah give us a pint of that please landlord"

I'm all for experimentation but some people do things just because they can. Doesnt make it right though

Bet it wasn't her....it's like being dragged round M & S with the misuse...the labels they have on the ladies underpants section all have the same,slim,not very scary bird on them....even if they're size 22 or something. That's gotta be one for trade descriptions...not unless there's a disclaimer saying.."your Mrs won't necessarily look like the model on the label while wearing these knickers.."
As for women's area acid beer....how did they get away with that? Bet it tastes like piss....
My mate is of the persuasion if it doesn't taste like Boddingtons. ...it's poisonous. ..

Cheers

Clint

Flambe and season with Mara, Hebridean, seaweed ground up. Served on a bed of crispy Sanfire, with steaming leaks?

Consume with a pint of Harvistoun; Bitter and Twisted of course?

or what other beer would be appropriate?

Nicely put, I agree entirely . I think brewing to rigid style guidelines helps one to gain some control over the process, and it's good for gaining familiarity with how certain ingredients and techniques affect flavour.

However I don't think set styles or popular interpretations of those styles should be viewed as a ceiling for creativity. Just look at how NEIPA has stormed the craft beer scene.

That being said, everyone has differing tastes so what equates to being bad beer is entirely subjective. I know some would argue otherwise, but there's no shortage of people who confuse facts with opinions :whistle:
