With the start of the craft beer movement all over the world, there has been a surge in the release of many different types and styles of craft beer in London and everywhere else, which may sometimes overwhelm beer lovers out there when deciding which one is the best and tastiest of all. Sometimes you may look to others for recommendations but may have been disappointed, which is why the following tips may help you in your search for the “best craft beer near me”.
-
Get the beer list – Rather than looking for recommendations from busy servers and waiters, it is always best to check out the beer menu at the bar, because most menus will have descriptions regarding taste and ingredients which can give you a pretty good idea as to what will suit your palate.
-
Get the bartender’s recommendation – If you do have to ask someone’s recommendation about what is best, then speak to the bartender. Bartenders tend to have a passion for the beverages they serve and as such will be far more informative and helpful in deciding on a good beer for you to taste.
-
Experiment in groups – When going beer tasting, it is best to go with a crowd of friends or family so that you can each order something different and then get each other’s recommendations. This way you can also cover more ground in terms of more beers to try out.
-
Start slow – Overpowering your tastebuds is a definite no when trying out new beers for the first time. The best way to go about it is to start with some light beers and slowly make your way up to the bitters, so that your palate gets used to the flavours and textures gradually.
Once you do find some tasty beers, don’t forget to share your experiences with your friends, and to recommend the brewers and brands because these handcrafted artisan beers are the lifeblood of small batch breweries.
