A Hoppy Shade of Pale

I've been neglecting the blog writing this week - it's tough to get caught up after a week away.

For a better-spent week, Gary Street at the under-appreciated Muddy Mo provides a report on his week tasting 7 pale ales and looking forward to his next homebrew project.

"Pale ale" is a term that applies to a broad swath of beers, and Gary's sequential approach is a great way to learn about different beers and your own tastes. You can get a lot more nuance out of a beer if you taste it in comparison with another of the same or similar style, and that helps you decide what to be looking for in your brewing and buying.
