So i’ve now had 80 different styles. That’s one more that a few days ago.
I have realised over time that I do like a variety of beer styles during a day. I bought 28 pale ales and american pale ales and american india pale ales at GBBF in cans and bottles to drink at home (thanks to BeersIveKnown) and after drinking 3 or 4 in a row, thought, I could really do with something else now just to refresh the palate.
Then I thought I could do a thread on having an Old England New England IPA style like Cloudwater and Verdant which are English versions of a brand new style, but lost heart and remembered the trouble I get into when I post about styles.
Anyway, who cares? I have concluded over the past 2 weeks that I just like to have something new or different just to keep the palate alive and fresh and entertained. Whether that be a sour, a lager, a dark beer, a light beer, a fruit beer, a traditional ale, a mead, a sake, a cider, a tmave, something light, something hoppy, something dark and sticky, something barrel aged, something infused with tea or gin or rosemary.
Enjoy the best time to be alive for beer variety in the history of the world.
They split Dortmunder and Helles? Wow. I mean how could most people tell the difference? I suppose like a few styles, there will be some crossover beers.
I suppose my IPA number will go down if some move to the new NE IPA style. Shame as I was trying to get it above Golden Ales before both overtake Bitter as my number 1 style.
Too late for me, Golden Ales have overtaken Bitter as my number One style. Breweries are just not brewing new Bitters anymore and I’ve had most of the old original ones over the years.
Don’t blame me, it’s the site and the admin guys who decide what style a beer is. I’ve added plenty of ‘Bitters’ over the years and many have been changed to ‘Golden Ales’ by admins.
