BJCP Style Guidelines

The BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) Style Guidelines are a set of standards used to categorize and describe different types of beer. They help homebrewers and beer judges understand the characteristics of various beer styles, including their appearance, aroma, flavor, and alcohol content. These guidelines also provide a framework for evaluating beer quality and consistency. By understanding these styles, enthusiasts can better appreciate the diverse world of beer and its many flavors, ingredients, and brewing techniques. Essentially, they serve as a common language for discussing and enjoying beer.
