List of Beer Styles
The database categorizes beer recipes using specific beer styles. Given the complexity and overlapping nature of styles in the craft brewing industry, finding an effective categorization scheme is challenging. Beer Analytics has opted to use the BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) 2021 Beer Style Guide as a basis, with some minor modifications and additions.
