Just been posting some reviews of pubs I have been to on my recent hols.

When listing the ales served, I realised that the ales they sold were basically the same. For example, one pub served Tetley Cask, Thwaites Bitter, Black Sheep Bitter and a fourth ale which was also a bitter.

Thinking about it, several real ale pubs serve a number of ales which are, basically, a bitter. Or they go for a range of citrussy flavoured ales.

Why do they do this and am I imagining it?
