Beer style

Beer style refers to the distinct categories or types of beer, each characterized by its ingredients, brewing methods, flavors, and aromas. Styles can range from light and refreshing, like lagers, to rich and complex, like stouts. Common styles include IPAs (India Pale Ales), known for their hop-forward taste, and wheats, which often have a smooth, citrusy profile. Understanding beer styles helps consumers select options that suit their preferences and enhances their appreciation of the diversity in beer. It's comparable to different types of wine, each offering unique experiences based on how they are made.
