Many beer drinkers and brewers will brew for the season, light crisp beers in the summer and malty, and roasty beers for the winter. You can also check your local taprooms and bars to see what’s trending or check out our hombrewer's [Guide to Beer Styles](. [Beer Styles for Miles]( [IPA (India Pale Ale) Beers - Beer Style Guide]( There is an incredible variety of IPA beer options available today, but the first was originally created in England as an export to India(hence India Pale Ale). It crossed the perilous ocean to satisfy the palates of the brewer’s fellow countrymen conducting business overseas & cured a bit of homesickness. Hops were utilized as a preservative in order to avoid spoilage during the long journey abroad. [SHOP NOW >]( [Hybrid Beers - Beer Style Guide]( Born out of necessity, tradition, or creativity, Hybrid Beers are half-lagers, half-ales. Sometimes half ales, half lagers. Either way, they are a unique category that straddles the line separating the two worlds of beer. Hybrid beers can be a good choice for brewers who don't have the ability to lager, which usually requires refrigeration during secondary. Some hybrid-style yeasts can ferment well into the ale yeast temperature range but still retain lager character and cleanness. [READ MORE >]( [Wheat Beers - Beer Style Guide]( Wheat beer is a beer, usually top-fermented, which is brewed with a large proportion of wheat relative to the amount of barley. Wheat beers feature fermentation by-products such as esters which lend fruity flavors and aromas reminiscent of bananas and cloves. The bittering level of most wheat beers is close to 15 IBUs, a very low level. The ester and phenolic aspects are produced by the special type of yeast, rather than the high fraction of wheat in the grain bill. [SHOP NOW >]( [Pale Lagers - Beer Style Guide]( Despite what the limited range of macro brewed American lagers would suggest, pale lagers are varied, challenging, and very enjoyable beers. Many brewing historians point to the advent of glassware as the point when the beer drinkers of the world turned away from darker styles in favor of pale lagers, as drinkers could more clearly see the beer and appreciate the light color and clarity. The interplay of hops and malt takes center stage in many of these sub-styles, and with the overall cleanness of the flavor, the balance can be quite delicate. [SHOP NOW >]( [Stouts & Porters - Beer Style Guide]( Deliciously creamy, dry, and roasty, stout is one of the most recognizable beer styles. Most folks have tried a Guinness, the classic example of Dry Irish Stout, but there are many ways to make a stout and almost as many to drink one. The stout’s history is intertwined with that of porter. Both are dark, roasty beers with British origins, and there is a lot of overlap between the styles. An oft-repeated claim is that stout started off as “stout porter”, a stronger version of porter. In present times stout is more frequently a feature for roasted barley, a very dark, highly roasted grain made from unmalted barley. This, along with the occasional use of other roasted grains, lends the beer its distinct coffee-like roasted character and pitch-black color. [SHOP NOW >]( [Belgian Ales - Beer Style Guide]( Belgian beers are primarily ales with a heavy emphasis on malts and a lot of fruity yeast flavors. Like the wheat beer, much of the flavor comes from the yeast itself. Unfettered from the restrictive requirements of Germany’s Reinheitsgebot, Belgium became the most creative beer producer in the world. No country has more beer variety than Belgium. From simple Witbiers to complex Lambics, and rustic Farmhouse ales, Belgian ales are the best in the world. [SHOP NOW >]( [Sour Beers - Beer Style Guide]( Sour beers are one of the most unusual beer styles but are naturally intriguing for the homebrewer. They range from a gentle sour tinge that helps provide complexity to ragingly mouth-puckering sourness. The organisms that create sour flavors usually contribute to other aromas and flavors that are unattainable with normal yeast, such as the “barnyard” or “horse blanket” flavors associated with some Brettanomyces strains.
