- List of beer styles
Beer style is a loose term used to differentiate and categorize
beer s by various factors including appearance, flavour, ingredients, production method, history, or origin. The term "beer style" and the structuring of world beers into defined categories is largely based on the work done by the late Michael Jackson in his 1977 book "The World Guide To Beer". [http://www.beerhunter.com/documents/19133-000233.html Michael Jackson's Beer Hunter - How to save a beer style ] ]Fred Eckhardt furthered Jackson's work publishing "The Essentials of Beer Style" in 1989.There is no universally agreed list of beer styles as different countries and organisations have different sets of criteria. The most exacting and precise lists come from organisers of beer competitions such as
CAMRA 's Champion Beer of Britain, theBeer Judge Certification Program 's localhomebrewing competitions and theBrewers Association 'sWorld Beer Cup .A number of ethnic beers, such as
Chhaang andCauim are not included on any of the main beer style groupings.Some beer terms such as
ale ,lager ,cask ale cover a wide variety of beer styles.Some countries have distinctive ways of brewing.
