It has all those benefits that come from being situated on a beach at the tropical, southernmost tip of the continent—sun, palm trees and beaches. But it’s also the most international American city I’ve visited, a place where 90 percent of the conversations you hear are spoken in some
- [The Tart Art of Cranberry Beers](https://allaboutbeer.com/the-tart-art-of-cranberry-beers/) - From bogs in the capes of Massachusetts, to similarly saturated settings in New Jersey, Oregon and Wisconsin, an understated holiday staple—more of a side-dish, really—is expanding its presence from the provinces of juices, sauces and stuffings to a position that could usurp the pumpkin’s vice grip on seasonal beer. Tart, tannic and relatively low in

- [The Emergence of ‘Pale ‘n Hoppy’ Beers in the UK](https://allaboutbeer.com/the-emergence-of-pale-n-hoppy-beers-in-the-uk/) - Some of the best beers being made in Britain today belong to a style that has no name. They are the colour of pilsner, usually made with only pale malt, but they are not mere ‘golden ales’—‘golden’ is not, after all, a flavour. They have extravagant, upfront New World hopping suggesting tropical fruits and aromatic
- [Betting a Billion Dollars Against a Bubble](https://allaboutbeer.com/betting-a-billion-dollars-against-a-bubble/) - On Monday, Constellation Brands announced it was acquiring San Diego’s Ballast Point Brewing Co. Big whoop, right? It seems like one of the big beer companies buys a craft brewery about every other week. But here’s the actual news within the story: Constellation—which owns the U.S. rights to Corona and Modelo and is the country’s

Geary Brewing ](https://allaboutbeer.com/30-years-dl-geary-brewing/) - David Geary was in his late 30s, recently unemployed as a medical-supplies salesman, and unenthusiastic about sending out résumés.

The following winter, David Geary left New

- [How Wild is Your Beer?](https://allaboutbeer.com/how-wild-is-your-beer/) - One of the best breweries I know is so obscure and out-of-the-way that most people living an hour and a quarter away, in Portland, don’t even know it exists. It’s named Solera, appropriately, after an equally obscure technique of nurturing wild ales. In an era of hops, the brewery does have one IPA, but mostly

I’m thinking now of the basic thermometer, which is knitted so tightly into our being that we can’t engage the outside world without making an involuntary assessment of the temperature. It’s hard to imagine a time

For beer tourists, this young, progressive community of 150,000 has few rivals among cities its size. At some point in its history, Fort Collins acquired the nickname “Choice City,” though

You didn’t go downtown very often.” Then things

As the style with the largest share in the craft beer segment, it just makes good business sense. The IPA— generously hopped, moderate alcohol, decent malt presence—is a classic style enjoying a reinvigoration and reinterpretation. So it should surprise no one that Guinness, the

An event billed as “Victoria Against the World,” held at an excellent pub called the Terminus Hotel in the North Fitzroy neighborhood of Melbourne, Australia, during Good Beer Week in May, culminated in local favorite Boatrocker against London’s Beavertown, a whisky-barrel-aged imperial stout against a black IPA. Both were well-made
- [We Need to Dial It Back a Notch](https://allaboutbeer.com/we-need-to-dial-it-back-a-notch/) - Yesterday, Tony Magee announced that he had sold off half the brewery he founded—Lagunitas—to Heineken. There have been too many of these kinds of announcements recently for beer fans to be genuinely surprised by this. It’s true that Lagunitas’ brand has been as anti-corporate as any American brewery—but as we saw earlier this year, cultivating

Its production had grown steadily from its 1966 launch as the first significant new winery in America’s most ballyhooed winemaking region. Plus, Mondavi had gained all-important critical plaudits for his Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in particular, which some said held their

It rarely commands the attention of its more “developed” peers and is constantly relegated to the status of a hidden gem perpetually waiting to be discovered. As the rumblings of a new beer era resound from its neighbors, Bolivia is quietly consolidating a solidly

That’s the usual explanation of what separates porter and stout. Unfortunately that story is total bollocks. The true tale is more complicated, more confusing and much more fun. Let’s go back to their childhood. Eighteenth-century London with its elegant squares, gin and the birth

- [Romancing the Beer](https://allaboutbeer.com/romancing-the-beer/) - Last week, social media burbled for a little while over an article in the New Yorker about the debased state of wine reviewing. Read any wine review or bottle label today and you will likely empathize with their confusion. Swallowing a substance that tastes of “strawberry bubble gum with tar” sounds like punishment, yet somehow

The muscular, 6-foot-5, 250-pound Ohio native was an All-America football star at Michigan State before the NFL and the sun-soaked shores of South Beach came calling in 2007. His interest in craft beer began soon after the start of his professional career. “The

Then, in the mid-’90s, a band of industry insiders began to question that orthodoxy, suggesting that beer in kegs and bottles, filtered and carbonated before packaging, might be

There just weren’t that many breweries nor beer styles left in the U.S. to write about. The American section in a revised edition a decade later ran much longer. Toward the middle

Every year, U.S. breweries emit more than 1.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide during fermentation, equivalent to all the motor-vehicle emissions in West Virginia. Now, at least one research company is trying to put those emissions to good work, with a

Some barely do more than dissolve extract syrup in water and pitch yeast, while others have miniature-scale professional breweries. Some homebrewers make hundreds of gallons of beer a year and enter competitions; others brew once or twice, making, say, their “famous pumpkin brew” for Thanksgiving. Some homebrewers harbor

- [What is Beer?](https://allaboutbeer.com/learn/beer/) - In the broadest sense, “beer” is any alcoholic beverage made by the fermentation of grain, just as wine is any alcoholic beverage made by the fermentation of fruit. In the vast majority of the world’s beers, the grain base is barley. The brewing process commonly begins with malted barley, or “malt”—barley that has been germinated

However, beer made with only these three will be sickly-sweet and dull. Throughout brewing history, brewers have added something extra—usually a plant part of some sort—to give their beer balance and depth. They’ve added heather flowers, spruce tips,
- [Malt](https://allaboutbeer.com/learn/beer/malt/) - Although wheat, rye, oats, millet, sorghum, rice and corn have all been used for brewing, barley is the preferred grain for beer. But the starch in a grain of barley isn’t ready to be fermented into alcohol, so the barley is generally converted into malted barley, or “malt.” The process of malting involves soaking the

If you’re just getting interested in beer, you may want to learn more about how beer is made and learn about the different styles of beer.

- [The Creative World of Fake Beers](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/the-creative-world-of-fake-beers/) - Don’t you hate fake beer? I don’t mean “near beer”—beer that has an extremely low alcohol content. I mean beer you can’t actually drink because it doesn’t exist: Squinty Pete’s Backwash Brew, Tree Frog Beer and less absurdly named brands such as Escorpión (featured in “Casa de mi Padre”) and Skull Island (featured on “Dexter”).

A straightforward Belgian white ale Orval is not. Rather, the 6.9% dry-hopped Belgian pale

But in today’s beer branding, most breweries are avoiding the hypersexualization of women, and debates rage against sexist beer names.

They can be a slow mover in a brewery’s lineup, but some breweries manage to have a hit with them anyway. Many people who happily lap up espresso would never put a similarly inky beer to their lips, while others swoon over their chocolaty, coffee notes. Many wrongly attribute

- [Charitable Breweries](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/charitable-breweries/) - I like to think of brewers as liquid philanthropists. They benefit their fellow man and woman via the simple act of producing beer for us, which in turn makes us feel good.

- [American-Style Brown Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/american-style-brown-ale-2/) - Like many American variants on traditional English beer styles, the American take on brown ale tends to be bigger in alcohol, malt and hops. Sweet, rich malt with caramel, toasted and chocolate notes, though not so evident as in a porter. Hops can be quite pronounced and citrusy.
- [English-Style Brown Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/english-style-brown-ale-4/) - The precise definition of English brown ale would depend on where you were in England. It is nowadays much more closely associated with Northern England, specifically Tadcaster and Newcastle, home to Newcastle Brown Ale. These medium-bodied reddish-brown beers are malt-accented with a nutty character, a gentle fruitiness and low bitterness. Alcohol is moderate, a maximum of 5 percent ABV.
- [Scottish Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/scottish-ale-2/) - Scottish ales can be full-bodied and malty, with some of the classic examples being dark brown in color. They are less hopped than the English counterparts and often have a slightly viscous and sweet caramel malt character due to incomplete fermentation.
- [Irish-Style Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/irish-style-ale-4/) - Irish ales are characterized by their reddish color, malt accents, slightly sweet palate and low hopping. They are not generally bitter if true to style and in this they reflect the historical fact that the Irish have never taken to huge amounts of hops in their traditional beers. In their native land they have long played second fiddle to stout, and before that, porter.
- [Strong Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/strong-ale-6/) - Strong ales are sometimes referred to as old ales, stock ales or winter warmers. These beers are higher alcohol versions (typically between 5.5-7 percent ABV) of pale ales, though not as robust or alcoholic as barley wines. Usually a deep amber color, these brews generally have a sweet malty palate and a degree of fruitiness. If bottle-conditioned, strong ales can improve for several years, in some cases eventually obtaining sherrylike notes.
- [Barley Wine](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/barley-wine-8/) - Barley wine is the evocative name coined by British brewers to describe an extremely potent ale that can range from golden copper to dark brown in color. Barley wines are characterized by extravagant caramel malt flavors and bittering hops that prevent the malt sweetness from cloying. Rich and viscous, they can have in their most complex manifestations winey flavor profiles, with a hint of sweetness. Some examples are vintage-dated and can improve with extended bottle age.
- [Winter Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/winter-ale-6/) - Spiced winter ales are popular hybrids among U.S. craft brewers. Typically, they are strong ales that have had some spice added during the brewing process. True to their name, they make ideal sipping beers with which to ward off winters chills and get a dose of seasonal spices.
- [Old Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/old-ale-4/) - Sometimes referred to as stock or keeping ales, old ales are eponymously named for being aged months, or even years, through bottle conditioning or bulk storage in wooden tuns. Originally brewed before the Industrial Revolution as a complement to mild ales, old ales are medium-to-full bodied, malt-driven ales that range in color from amber to very dark brown.
- [Single-Hop Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/single-hop-ale/) - eers listed in this category are brewed or fermented using a single-hop variety, and typically are brewed as part of a series to highlight individual characteristics of the hop.
- [Bock](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/bock-7/) - Bocks are a specific type of strong lager historically associated with Germany and specifically the town of Einbeck. These beers range in color from pale to deep amber tones, and feature a decided sweetness on the palate. Bock styles are an exposition of malty sweetness that is classically associated with the character and flavor of Bavarian malt. Alcohol levels are quite potent, typically 5-6 percent ABV. Hop aromas are generally low, though hop bitterness can serve as a balancing factor against the malt sweetness. Many brewers choose to craft these beers for consumption in the spring (often called Maibock) or winter, when their warmth can be fully appreciated.
- [Eisbock](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/eisbock-5/) - This is the strongest type of bock. It is made by chilling a doppelbock until ice is formed. At this point, the ice is removed, leaving behind a brew with a higher concentration of alcohol. This also serves to concentrate the flavors, and the resultant beer is rich and powerful, with a pronounced malt sweetness and a warm alcoholic finish. Alcohol levels run to at least 8 percent ABV.
- [Doppelbock](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/doppelbock-7/) - This is a subcategory of the bock style. Doppelbocks are extra strong, rich and weighty lagers characterized by an intense malty sweetness with a note of hop bitterness to balance the sweetness. Color can vary from full amber to dark brown and alcohol levels are potently high, typically 7-8 percent ABV.
- [American Golden Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/american-golden-ale-4/) - These brews are golden to light copper in color with a more subtle overall character and lighter body than typical pale ales. English ale fruitiness will probably not be observed. However, the most important qualification is that they are brewed domestically and will have less body and hop and malt character than a pale ale from the same brewery.
- [Cream Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/cream-ale-4/) - Cream ale is a North American specialty that is somewhat of a hybrid in style. Despite the name, many brewers use both ale and lager yeasts for fermentation, or more often, just lager yeasts. This style of beer is fermented like an ale at warm temperatures, but then stored at cold temperatures for a period of time, much as a lager would be. The resultant brew has the unchallenging crisp characteristics of a light pale lager, but is endowed with a hint of the aromatic complexities that ales provide.
- [ESB](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/esb-3/) - A fuller-bodied bitter is labeled as “Extra Special Bitter” (ESB). These weightier versions of bitter often stand up better to the rigors of travel overseas than the lower gravity standard versions. An important element of faithful bitters is the use of English yeast cultures in fermentation. These impart a fruity, mildly estery character that should be noted in examples of the style.
- [American-Style Pale Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/american-style-pale-ale-3/) - Pale ales tend to be fuller-bodied with a more assertive character on the palate than the standard bitter in a English brewer’s portfolio. In England, they are generally bottled, as opposed to being sold on draft. Despite the name, pale ales are not pale but, in fact, more of an amber hue. The original designation was in reference to this style of beer being paler than the brown and black beers that were more popular at the time of the style’s inception. In the United States, pale ale styles have become one of the benchmarks by which craft brewers are judged.
- [British-Style Pale Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/british-style-pale-ale-3/) - Pale ales tend to be fuller-bodied with a more assertive character on the palate than the standard bitter in a English brewer’s portfolio. In England, they are generally bottled, as opposed to being sold on draft. Despite the name, pale ales are not pale but, in fact, more of an amber hue. The original designation was in reference to this style of beer being paler than the brown and black beers that were more popular at the time of the style’s inception. In the United States, pale ale styles have become one of the benchmarks by which craft brewers are judged.
- [India Pale Ale (IPA)](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/india-pale-ale-ipa-2/) - India pale ales are deep gold to amber in color and are usually characterized by floral hop aromas and a distinctive hop bitterness on the finish. India pale ales were originally brewed by British brewers in the 19th century, when British troops and colonizers depended upon supplies of beer shipped from England. Standard ales did not survive the journey; hence, brewers developed high gravity, highly hopped ales that survived shipment in casks to their largest market, India. This style, probably not anywhere near as bitter as it was when destined for India, continues to be brewed in a toned-down manner in the United Kingdom and is undergoing a mini-revival at present. However, U.S. craft brewers have claimed the style as their own, and often brew it with assertive Pacific Northwestern hop varieties that give such examples a hugely aromatic hop accent.
- [Imperial India Pale Ale (IPA)](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/imperial-india-pale-ale-ipa/) - Imperial IPAs (also known as Double IPAs) are distinguished by their prominent hop aromas and flavors and an intense, assertive bitterness. Colors range from deep gold to deep amber. These hop characteristics should be balanced by a rich malt backbone, mid- to high-level notes and fruity esters. They are medium- to full-bodied in weight and notes of astringency and hop haze are accepted. Depending on the varieties of hops being used, the drinker can experience a wide range of hop flavors, including tart citrus peels, pepper and earthy pinelike notes.
- [American-Style Black Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/american-style-black-ale-2/) - The alternate names for this style, Cascadian dark ale or black India pale ale, have been replaced by American-style black ale because of the too-narrow geographical focus of the first and the oxymoronic nature of the second. This beer is based on an IPA, with intense hop aroma and flavor and some bready maltiness, but with black color and added roasty, chocolate and caramel notes from the addition of dark malt to the brew.
- [Mild Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/mild-ale/) - A traditional style of English ale that is characterized by darker colors, sweetish malt flavors and subtle hopping levels, all within a lower alcohol frame (typically 3.5 percent ABV). Its purpose is to allow the drinker to get a full quotient of flavor in a “session” beer—a trick to which English ale brewing lends itself readily.
- [Amber Ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/amber-ale-5/) - North American brewers are now producing ales that are identified by the term “amber ale.” This is a more modern, nontraditional style, and many of these beers borrow heavily from the characteristics associated with more classical styles such as pale ales or bitters. Amber ales are light- to medium-bodied and can be anywhere from light copper to light brown in hue. Typically amber ales are quite malty but not heavily caramelized in flavor.
- [Maibock](https://allaboutbeer.com/article/maibock-6/) - Bocks are a specific type of strong lager historically associated with Germany and specifically the town of Einbeck. These beers range in color from pale to deep amber tones, and feature a decided sweetness on the palate. Bock styles are an exposition of malty sweetness that is classically associated with the character and flavor of Bavarian malt. Alcohol levels are quite potent, typically 5-6 percent ABV. Hop aromas are generally low, though hop bitterness can serve as a balancing factor against the malt sweetness. Many brewers choose to craft these beers for consumption in the spring (often called Maibock) or winter, when their warmth can be fully appreciated.

## Beer Styles
- [Barley wine](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/barley-wine/) - Barley wine is the evocative name coined by British brewers to describe an extremely potent ale that can range from golden copper to dark brown in color. They are characterized by extravagant caramel malt flavors and bittering hops that prevent the malt sweetness from cloying. Rich and viscous, they can have in their most complex
- [Scottish ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/scottish-ale/) - Scottish ales are typically full-bodied and malty, with some of the classic examples being dark brown in color. They are more lowly hopped than the English counterparts and often have a slightly viscous and sweet caramel malt character due to incomplete fermentation. Scottish-style ales can be found in far-flung corners of the world where faithful
- [Weizen bock](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/weizen-bock-2/) - Weizen bocks are essentially winter wheat beers, originally brewed in Bavaria. The color can be pale gold to brown. They are of higher alcoholic strength, as high as 7%, showing a warming personality, though they should still have a significant rocky head when poured. These beers combine the character of hefeweizens and dopplebocks and as
- [White/Wit Beer](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/white-wit-beer/) - Wit beer is a style of flavored wheat. It is distinctly Belgian in origin and is still very closely associated with this lowland country. Wits employ a proportion of unmalted wheat in the mash, but also have flavor added in the form of Curaçao orange peel and coriander, among other ingredients. Their appearance is marked
- [Flavored Wheat Ales](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/flavored-wheat-ales/) - Turning wheat beer into a cocktail has precedent in Europe, where alcoholic cordials or fruit syrups can be used to help beer slide down more easily. Flavored wheat ales are an increasingly popular specialty category, covering a number of flavoring options that brewers have adopted, particularly in the United States, the home of “throw-the-rule-book-away” hybrid
- [Berliner weisse](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/berliner-weisse/) - Technically any wheat beer brewed in Berlin can be labeled a Berliner weisse. However, the name has come to be more associated with the decidedly more lactic profile than found in southern Germany. Dubbed “the Champagne of the north” by Napoleon’s soldiers, this tart, thirst-quenching ale gets its sharp flavors from a lactic fermentation. True
- [American-style Wheat Ales](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/american-style-wheat-ales/) - American-style wheat ales are clear or hazy, clean and crisp golden-colored beers fermented with a non-European yeast strain. Although they may look similar to German weizens, they do not taste like them. Estery and phenolic German weizen yeast aromas and flavors typically will not be found in these beers. Beers in this category feature American
- [White IPA](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/white-ipa/) - White IPAs are clear or hazy, golden-colored beers that are a hybrid of the hop-forward American India pale ale style and the traditional Belgian wit style. The flavors and aromas of these beers feature both the yeasty spice profile of Belgian wits and the citrusy and/or resinous aromatic hop profile of American IPAs, with medium-to-high
- [Kristall weizen](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/kristall-weizen/) - A kristall weizen is a non-hazy weizen ale. “Kristall” on the label of a weizen specifically denotes that a weizen has been filtered prior to bottling to remove the protein haze and yeast often suspended in such beers. Kristall weizens lack the yeasty and spicy complexity often associated with hefeweizen beers, and have a cleaner
- [Hefeweizen](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/hefeweizen/) - Weizen bier is a top-fermenting beer style that originates from southern Germany, particularly Bavaria, and is brewed with at least 50 percent wheat in the mash. Hefeweizens are refreshing, highly carbonated beers ideal for quenching summer thirsts. They undergo secondary fermentation, often in the bottle. The yeast strains used in traditional hefeweizens can impart flavors
- [Trappist ales](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/trappist-ales/) - According to EC law, Trappist ale may only come from 10 abbeys of the Trappist order, six in Belgium, two in the Netherlands, one in Austria and one in the United States, that still brew beer on their premises. Although the styles may differ widely among them, they share a common trait of being top-fermented,
- [Black & Tan](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/black-tan/) - Black & Tan was originally conceived as British pub concoction of stout and IPA mixed in a pint pot. Variations are still blended in some English pubs, but in the United States the term is used by a small number of brands to loosely refer to a dark amber to brown colored beer with a
- [Cream ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/cream-ale/) - Cream ale is a North American specialty that is somewhat of a hybrid in style. Despite the name, many brewers use both ale and lager yeasts for fermentation, or more often, just lager yeasts. This style of beer is fermented like an ale at warm temperatures, but then stored at cold temperatures for a period
- [English-style brown ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/english-style-brown-ale/) - The precise definition of English brown ale would depend on where you are in England. It is nowadays much more closely associated with Northern England, specifically Tadcaster and Newcastle, home to Newcastle Brown Ale. These medium-bodied reddish-brown beers are malt-accented with a nutty character, a gentle fruitiness, and low bitterness. Alcohol is moderate, a maximum
- [Imperial India pale ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/imperial-india-pale-ale/) - Imperial IPAs (also known as Double IPAs) are distinguished by their prominent hop cone aromas and flavors, and bitterness that is intense and assertive. Colors range from deep gold to deep amber. These intense hop characteristics should be balanced by a rich malt backbone, mid-to-high levels notes and fruity esters. They are medium-to-full bodied in
- [India pale ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/india-pale-ale/) - The story of India pale ale (IPA) is one of the most romantic in the history of beer. At the height of its empire, Britain had emigrants, sailors and troops all around the world—with India being one of its most important outposts. All demanded beer, but India itself was too warm for brewing. To meet
- [Irish-style ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/irish-style-ale/) - Irish ales are characterized by their reddish color, malt accents, slightly sweet palate, and low hopping. They are not generally bitter if true to style and in this they reflect the historical fact that the Irish have never taken to huge amounts of hops in their traditional beers. In their native land they have long
- [Mild ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/mild-ale/) - Mild ale is a traditional style of English ale that is characterized by darker colors, sweetish malt flavors, and subtle hopping levels, all within a lower alcohol frame (typically 3.5 percent ABV). Their purpose is to allow the drinker to get a full quotient of flavor in a “session” beer—a trick to which English ale
- [American golden ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/american-golden-ale/) - These brews are golden to light copper in color with a more subtle overall character and lighter body than typical pale ales. English ale fruitiness will probably not be observed. However, the most important qualification is that they are brewed domestically and will have less body and hop and malt character than a pale ale
- [Pale ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/pale-ale/) - Pale ale is essentially the beer that launched the modern brewing revolution in America, and one beer in particular deserves much of the credit. In 1979, the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. was founded in Chico, CA, and in 1980 produced its first batch of pale ale. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale was a revelation for beer
- [American-style black ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/american-style-black-ale/) - The alternate names for this style, Cascadian dark ale or black India pale ale, have been replaced by American-style black ale because of the too-narrow geographical focus of the first and the oxymoronic nature of the second. Still, the early names are useful: the style was not exclusive to the Pacific Northwest, but that area
- [American-style brown ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/american-style-brown-ale/) - Like many American variants on traditional English beer styles, the American take on brown ale tends to be bigger in alcohol, malt and hops. Sweet, rich malt with caramel, toasted and chocolate notes, though not so evident as in a porter. Hops can be quite pronounced and citrusy. Learn about more British and North American
- [Amber ales](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/amber-ales/) - Many North American brewers are now producing ales that are identified by the term “amber ale.” This is a more modern, non-traditional style, and many of these beers borrow heavily from the characteristics associated with more classical styles such as pale ales or bitters. Amber ales are light- to medium-bodied and can be anywhere from
- [Bitter and ESB](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/bitter-and-esb/) - Bitter is an English specialty, and very much an English term, generally denoting the standard ale—the “session” beer—in an English brewer’s range. They are characterized by a fruitiness, light-to-medium body and an accent on hop aromas more than hop bitters. Colors range from golden to copper. Despite the name, they are not particularly bitter. Indeed,
- [Weizenbock](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/weizen-bock/) - Weizenbocks are essentially winter wheat beers, originally brewed in Bavaria. The color can be pale gold to brown. They are of higher alcoholic strength, as high as 7 percent ABV, showing a warming personality, though they should still have a significant rocky head when poured. These beers combine the character of hefeweizens and dopplebocks and
- [Dunkel](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/dunkel/) - Dunkel is the original style of lager, serving as the forerunner to the pale lagers of today. They originated in and around Bavaria, and are widely brewed both there and around the world. This is often what the average consumer is referring to when they think of dark beer. At their best, these beers combine
- [Belgian-style specialty ales](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/belgian-style-specialty-ales/) - These are Belgian-styled ales to which herbs, fruits, or atypical spices have been added in order to impart flavor or color. Depending on whether or not the seasonings have been used in the fermentation or as an addition of juice or extract, the beer will have more or less of the desired character. These beers
- [Abbey ales](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/abbey-ales/) - Monastic, or abbey, ales are an ancient tradition in Belgium, in much the same manner as wine production was once closely associated with monastic life in ancient France. Currently, very few working monasteries brew beer within the order, but many have licensed the production of beers bearing their abbey name to large commercial brewers. These
- [Saison](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/saison/) - Saison beers are distinctive specialty beers from the Belgian province of Hainuat. These beers were originally brewed in the early spring for summer consumption, though contemporary Belgian saisons are brewed all year round with pale malts and are well dosed with English and Belgian hop varieties. Lively carbonation ensues from a secondary fermentation in the
- [Flemish-style brown ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/flemish-style-brown-ale/) - These are complex dark beers most closely associated with the town of Oudenaarde in Flanders. The authentic examples are medium- to full-bodied beers that are influenced by a number of factors: high bicarbonate in the brewing water to give a frothy texture; a complex mix of yeasts and malts; blending of aged beers; and aging
- [Belgian-style red ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/belgian-style-red-ale/) - These are also known as “soured beers” and their defining character classically comes from having been aged for some years in well-used, large wooden tuns, to allow bacterial action in the beer and thus impart the sharp “sour” character. Hops do not play much role in the flavor profile of these beers, but whole cherries
- [Schwarzbier](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/schwarzbier/) - Originally brewed in Thuringia, a state in eastern Germany, these lager -style brews were known to be darker in color than their Munich counterparts. Often relatively full-bodied, rarely under 5 percent ABV, these beers classically feature a bitter chocolate, roasted malt note and a rounded character. Hop accents are generally low. This obscure style was
- [Reduced calorie and non-alcoholic beers](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/reduced-calorie-and-non-alcoholic-beers/) - These are the recently popular brews in a figure-conscious society. Essentially, these are pale lager styled beers with fewer calories or an alcohol content under 0.5 percent. Like all other “diet products,” the objective is to maintain flavor while minimizing calories. This achieved quite successfully by some brands, despite the implausibility of the proposition.
- [Kölsch](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/kolsch/) - Kölsch is an ale style emanating from Cologne in Germany. In Germany (and the European Community) the term is strictly legally limited to the beers from within the city environs of Cologne. Simply put, kölsch has the color of a pilsner with some of the fruity character of an ale. This is achieved with the
- [Vienna Style Lagers and Märzen/Fest Beers](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/vienna-style-lagers-and-marzenfest-beers/) - The classic amber to red lager that was originally brewed in Austria in the 19th century has come to be known as the Vienna style. These are reddish-amber with a very malty, toasted character and a hint of sweetness. This style of beer was adapted by the Munich brewers and in their hands has a
- [Belgian-style blonde ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/belgian-style-blonde-ale/) - This is not a classic style of Belgian ale, but covers the more commercially-minded Belgian ales that are lighter in color and moderate in body and alcoholic strength. Fruity Belgian yeast character and mild hopping should be expected.
- [Belgian-style golden ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/belgian-style-golden-ale/) - Belgian golden ales are pale to golden in color with a lightish body for their deceptive alcoholic punch, as much as 9 percent alcohol by volume. The benchmark example, Duvel (Devil) from Belgium, is quite heavily hopped to give a floral nose and a tangy, fruity finish. Typically, such brews undergo three fermentations, the final
- [Belgian-style amber ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/belgian-style-amber-ale/) - This is a not a classic style, but nonetheless encapsulates various beers of a similar Belgian theme that do not fit into the more classic mold. Expect amber-hued, fruity and moderately strong ales (6 percent ABV) with a yeasty character. Typical examples of the style would be Flemish beers such as De Koninck and Straffe
- [Barrel-aged beers](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/barrel-aged-beers/) - This category, which also has some crossover with Specialty Beer, is at its basic definition beers that are aged in non-neutral wood. This can to produce an intentional wood-influenced flavor effect (vanillin, caramel, toast), or flavors derived from the alcohol previously aged in the wood if any (bourbon, scotch whisky, sherry), as well as the
- [Belgian-style strong ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/belgian-style-strong-ale/) - Beers listed in this category will generally pack a considerable alcohol punch and should be approached much like one would a barley wine. Indeed, some of them could be considered Belgian-style barleywines, such as those from Brasserie Dubuisson. Expect a fruity Belgian yeast character and a degree of sweetness coupled with a viscous mouthfeel.
- [Bock](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/bock/) - Bocks are a specific type of strong lager historically associated with Germany and specifically the town of Einbeck. These beers range in color from pale to deep amber tones, and feature a decided sweetness on the palate. Bock styles are an exposition of malty sweetness that is classically associated with the character and flavor of
- [Bière de Garde](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/biere-de-garde/) - Bière de garde is a Flemish and northern French specialty ale generally packaged distinctively in 750-ml bottles with a cork. Historically, the style was brewed as a farmhouse specialty in February and March, to be consumed in the summer months when the warmer weather didn’t permit brewing. Typically produced with a malt accent, this is
- [Cider and perry](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/cider-and-perry/) - Cider is made from fermented apple juice; perry is made from fermented pear juice. As with wine, the character and quality of the resulting product will bear heavily on the variety and quality of the fruit used. The cooler climate of Vermont is well suited to high quality apple production, and produces a sizeable amount
- [Doppelbock](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/doppelbock/) - This is a sub-category of the bock style. Doppelbocks are extra strong, rich and weighty lagers characterized by an intense malty sweetness with a note of hop bitterness to balance the sweetness. Color can vary from full amber to dark brown and alcohol levels are potently high, typically 7-8 percent ABV. Doppelbocks were first brewed
- [Eisbock](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/eisbock/) - This is the strongest type of bock. It is made by chilling a doppelbock until ice is formed. At this point, the ice is removed, leaving behind a brew with a higher concentration of alcohol. This also serves to concentrate the flavors, and the resultant beer is rich and powerful, with a pronounced malt sweetness
- [Fruit beer](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/fruit-beer/) - These are lagers or ales to which fruits have been added in order to impart flavor or color. Depending on whether or not the seasonings have been used in the fermentation or as an addition of juice or extract, the beer will have more or less of the desired character. These beers are highly individualistic,
- [Malt liquor](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/malt-liquor/) - This category is legally mandated in states where any lager stronger than 5 percent alcohol by volume cannot call itself a lager beer. There are a number commercial brands that have been created to fill this category, many of which do not have great merit from the connoisseur’s perspective. Many malt liquors achieve their greater
- [Munich helles](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/munich-helles/) - Munich helles is a style of lager originating from Munich, which is very soft and round on the palate with a pale to golden hue. These beers traditionally tend to be quite malt-accented with subtle hop character. They are generally weightier than standard pale lagers, though less substantial than Dortmunder Export styles. All the finest
- [Pale lager](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/pale-lager/) - Pale lagers are the standard international beer style, as personified by products from Miller to Heineken. This style is the generic spin-off of the pilsner style. Pale lagers are generally light- to medium-bodied with a light-to-medium hop impression and a clean, crisp malt character. Quality, from a flavor point of view, is very variable within
- [Pilsner](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/pilsner/) - Pilsner styles of beer originate from Bohemia in the Czech Republic. They are medium- to medium-full bodied and are characterized by high carbonation and tangy Czech varieties of hops that impart floral aromas and a crisp, bitter finish. German pilsner styles are similar, though often slightly lighter in body and color. The hallmark of a
- [Dry beer and ice beer](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/dry-beer-and-ice-beer/) - Dry beer is straw-colored, light-bodied, low in bitterness or malt flavors, with alcohol ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 percent. Ice beer is similarly restrained in aroma and flavor, with low but perceptible bitterness, potentially more mouthfeel, and slightly higher average alcohol content. The name “ice beer” refers to the practice of chilling the beer before
- [Amber lagers](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/amber-lagers/) - Beer styles can be named for many things, including the place of origin (pilsner, Dortmunder), the appearance (pale ale, witbier) or strength (barley wine, tripel). How then did the amber lagers—which are known as Vienna, märzen and Oktoberfest—come to be named after a city, a month and a festival, respectively? Each has its own history.
- [Flavored beer](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/flavored-beer/) - The Flavored Beer category has some potential overlap with Specialty Beer, and the determination of category is the brewery’s decision. Entries in this category are beers flavored with either conventional (fruit, honey, chocolate) or sometimes unconventional ingredients (chilies, peanut butter). The base beer may be related to almost any classic beer style, and the union
- [Lambic](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/lambic/) - Includes young lambics, gueuze lambic, fruit lambic, faro. Lambic beers are perhaps the most individualistic style of beer in the world. Lambics are produced in tiny quantities immediately south of the Belgian capital, Brussels. Lambic brewers use native wild yeasts in the open-air fermentation process to produce these specialties. This unusual fermentation, in conjunction with
- [Oatmeal stout](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/oatmeal-stout/) - This brew is a variation of sweet stout, with a small proportion of oats used in place of roasted malt, which has the effect of enhancing body and mouthfeel. They were originally brewed by the British in the earlier part of this century, when stouts were thought of as a nutritious part of an everyday
- [Porter](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/porter/) - The birth of porter in the early 18th century is among the most significant brewing events of the past 300 years. At a time when England was leading the Industrial Revolution, this deep brown ale drove a revolution in brewing. Porter became the first beer style to gain wide popularity—it was enjoyed all across Britain,
- [Strong stout](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/strong-stout/) - Simply put, this is a stronger version of a dry stout, with alcohol levels between 5.7 and 7.5 percent, very similar to foreign or export-style stouts. The initial malt sweetness leads to a rounded out, dry and balanced finish. Coffee-like roasted barley present in the aromas. A medium- to full-bodied mouth feel is common. Fruity
- [Imperial porter](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/imperial-porter/) - This style is an extra strong version of porter and is similar in style to top-fermented Baltic porters. Roasted malt should provide the flavoring character, with no apparent roasted barley or black malt character in the flavor profile. Imperial porters are dark brown to black in color and strong in alcohol (7-11%). Fruity esters should
- [Specialty beer](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/specialty-beer/) - This category is, practically speaking, a catchall tasting for beers that don't fit neatly in an existing category. However, if enthusiasm for a particular innovation grows, an emerging style may come to warrant its own, new category, as was the case for the Imperial IPA or Barrel-Aged categories. Simply put, Specialty Beers may be flavored
- [Rauchbier](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/rauchbier/) - The origins of rauchbier lie with breweries in the region of Franconia in northern Bavaria, which traditionally dried the barley over fires fueled by beech trees from local forests. The resulting pungent malt imparted an assertively smoky aroma and flavor to the beer from which it was made. These smoked lagers generally feature a very
- [Maibock](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/maibock/) - Maibocks are medium- to full-bodied lagers whose alcohol content can vary widely, though is typically between 5-6 percent ABV. The color of pale bocks can vary from light bronze to deep amber and they are characterized by a sweet malty palate and subtle hop character. As its name would suggest, this is a bock style
- [Strong ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/strong-ale/) - Strong ales are sometimes referred to as old ales, stock ales or winter warmers. These beers are higher alcohol versions (typically between 5.5-7 percent ABV) of pale ales, though not as robust or alcoholic as barley wines. Usually a deep amber color, these brews generally have a sweet malty palate and a degree of fruitiness.
- [Winter ales and lagers](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/winter-ales-and-lagers/) - Spiced winter beers are popular hybrids among U.S. craft brewers. Typically, they are strong brews that have had some spice added during the brewing process. True to their name, they make ideal sipping beers with which to ward off winters chills and get a dose of seasonal spices. This style is usually brewed before Christmas
- [Sweet stout](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/sweet-stout/) - Sweet stouts have a distinctive sweetness to the palate and often show chocolate and caramel flavors. They are sometimes known as milk or cream stouts. These beers obtain their characters by using chocolate malts and lactic (milk) sugars in the brewing process.
- [Flavored stout](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/flavored-stout/) - Flavored stouts are stouts, be they sweeter or drier, that have been flavored in some way. Dark fruits, coffee and chocolate are particularly popular, and the marriage of flavors should at best be greater than the sum of its parts.
- [Flavored porter](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/flavored-porter/) - Flavoring traditional beer styles is a particular feature of the ever-creative U.S. craft brewing scene. Flavorings used in porters are typically dark berry fruits and coffee, and when skillfully done the effect can be greater than the sum of its parts.
- [Dry stout](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/dry-stout/) - Dry stout is closely associated with Ireland in general, and Guinness in particular. These brews tend to be rich and dark with a definitive bitter note and a drying palate feel. They are classically paired with oysters, although any Irish stout drinker will tell you that a pint it is a meal in itself. Draught
- [Stout](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/stout/) - Most people who take the plunge into the “dark side” of beer exploration are surprised to find out that stouts are neither heavy nor terribly strong. Quite the opposite is true in fact: many great stouts are complex and low in alcohol, with beautiful roundness and a touch of roastiness. The dry versions are appetizing
- [Belgian witbier](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/belgian-witbier/) - Few summer quenchers offer the satisfaction of Belgian witbiers. Beyond the light, fluffy body and tart, lemony finish, they offer enough layered aroma and flavor to rival hearty winter beers. Textured with wheat, boisterously yeasty, with herbal hints and scented with pungent spices, witbiers are a bounty in a tumbler. Add to that a touch
- [Wheat ale](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/wheat-ale/) - As the name would suggest, these are ales that use a proportion of wheat in the mash to add a protein haze. Wheat ales inspired by the German weizen tradition were popular before Prohibition in the United States and are enjoying a resurgence in popularity. This generic category encapsulates the diverse interpretation of the classic
- [Dunkel weizen](https://allaboutbeer.com/styles/dunkel-weizen/) - These dark wheat beers derive their character from the use of darker malts in the non-wheat ingredients, so that a richer, darker-colored beer can be achieved, along with fuller malt flavors. Dunkel weizens still display the floral, estery qualities of a pale weizen. Dark weizens are produced with or without a secondary fermentation in the
