There are certainly pubs that will offer you a chance to try the beers, and that's always a good idea, from both points of view. For the customer, it gives them chance to see whether a beer is to the pallet or not, and for the Publican it's a good idea because it shows that they're interested in beer and they carry a good range of different flavours and styles of beer. Not all pubs allow you to do that however, so it's worth seeking out the ones that do.
