Beer Styles Guide

A beer styles guide categorizes beers based on their ingredients, brewing methods, flavors, and aromas. Major styles include lagers and ales, each subdivided into various types. For example, ales can be further broken down into IPAs (India Pale Ales), stouts, and porters, known for their hoppy or malty flavors. Lagers, crisper and often lighter, include styles like pilsners. Each style has distinct characteristics influenced by factors like yeast, temperature, and region. Understanding these styles enhances appreciation, helping you choose beers that suit your taste preferences and the occasion.
