77 BEER STYLES--With the plethora
of styles produced in the beer world today, finding the one you’d most like to
savor can take some navigation. Whether you’re looking for an American amber
ale or a Vienna-style lager, CraftBeer.com—the Brewers Association (BA) website
for beer lovers, presents the new CraftBeer.com Beer Styles Guide to help.
Each
beer style is showcased in a variety of ways. A photo-rich quick hit overview
offers a visual representation of all the styles. Turning the Beer Style Finder
‘on’ lets users sort styles by color, bitterness, alcohol and flavor. The
interactive beer glass images launch a dedicated page for each style, offering
and overview of color, appearance, aroma and sensations, along with recommended
food pairings, proper glassware, suggested serving temperature and commercial
brand examples. The guide is accompanied by an introduction video and the most
concise and systematic tasting sheet ever published.For those who want to dive even deeper, an extensive text guide uses an alphabetical list of triggers—from alcohol to yeast variety—to help describe possible characteristics of a specific beer style.
“At
CraftBeer.com we aim to provide beer lovers with exactly what they want to
know,” said Julia Herz, publisher of CraftBeer.com and craft beer program
director at the Brewers Association. “One of the best things about beer is the
amazing variety of styles. From the beer beginner to geek from chefs to foodies
alike these guidelines are presented in a groundbreaking new format designed
for easy reference.”
The
CraftBeer.com Beer Styles Guides are the result of a two-year review of the top
beer styles being made in the U.S., cross referenced with both Brewers
Association and the Beer Judge Certification Program guidelines. The list was
pared down to 77 common U.S. beer styles inside of 15 style families with
unique information added specifically with the beer lover in mind.
