My current favorite recipe is an English Brown Ale, an attempt to clone a great regional offering from Lonerider Brewery called Sweet JosieOK, so it seems almost everyone is into the make-your-nose-run hop forward double, triple and quaduruple IPA's with IBU's over 100. That's fine if you like it. But personally, I enjoy traditional English beers. I get a lot of enjoyment from a very good common bitters, porter, SB or ESB. English beers provide a comfortable easy drinking beer that I can enjoy through an entire evening. Perhaps there are others here who feel the same way.
Would you care to share your favorite recipe? And why do you like this beer?
Thanks to all who care to contribute their views and their recipes.
Cheers!

Wow ... This is a tasty beer - try it and become a believer! (Done taste tests with friends comparing to Sweet Josie, and it is very hard to see, taste or feel a big difference ... But if I had to pick... They always pick my batch.
