Beer Styles

I've been tasting some creative styles lately and I needed a review. Maybe others do as well. Which style is your favorite?

Sours - Sour beer is beer which has an intentionally acidic, tart or sour taste. The most common sour beer styles are Belgian: lambics, gueuze and Flanders red ale

Mead is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices, grains, or hop

Saison is a pale ale that is generally around 7% ABV, highly carbonated, fruity, or spicy

Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples or other fruits. The addition of sugar or extra fruit before a second fermentation increases the alcoholic content of the resulting beverage.

India pale ale (IPA) is a hoppy beer style within the broader category of pale ale. The term pale ale originally denoted an ale that had been brewed from pale malt.[2] Among the first brewers known to export beer to India was George Hodgson's Bow Brewery. Bow Brewery beers became popular among East India Company traders in the late 18th century because of the brewery's location near the East India Docks and the beer's ability to maintain its flavor on long journeys

Stout is a dark beer made using roasted malt or roasted barley, hops, water and yeast. Stouts were traditionally the term for the strongest porters. There are a number of variations including milk stout, and imperial stout; the most common variation is dry stout, exemplified by Guinness Draught


Stay Tuned for more styles coming soon!
