Why does beer taste different from the bottle vs. Pub A tap vs. Pub B tap

724 views

Just been enjoying a few beers lately. Same beer from the bottle good, from pub A great, then again from the tap of pub B tastes more bitter, an entirely different flavour that isn’t as refreshing.

I’ve experienced this before. So what’s up? Why are two pubs pouring the exact same beer from the tap and coming out with different flavours?

Beer tastes different as my in-laws’ than at home. Another person randomly said to me about a fragrance, “This smells different at work.”

I have no answer, but it’s definitely a thing

Maybe the associations our brain makes include remembering smells and tastes. So much that the next thing we experience is affected by the memories we already have. Sorta like, nothing tastes like Mom’s cooking, and we’re foolish to demand that our partner try to replicate the taste.
