Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

That's one helluva bartender got all those beers layered like that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Every other layer is made entirely of oil

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There are many things wrong with this.

[–] Cethin 11 points 3 months ago

Yeah, beers are not a gradient like this. They're more like soups, and no reasonable person would put soups on a line like this.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Milk stout, especially peanut butter milk stout, is delightful.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I love a good milk stout as well. But I've been hooked on Guinness since my trip to Ireland in January. Can't get enough of the stuff!

If you’re looking for a good Irish whiskey try Teeling

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Teeling is indeed a good Irish whiskey. I did a tour of the Dublin Liberties Distillery around the corner from Teeling, and brought a bottle home. Irish whiskey is very nice!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Teeling is my favorite whiskey!

Had to look this up haha, what a treat this sounds like! Will defo try to get my hands on one this week 👐

It's like this suggests hefeweizen is in-between blond and IPA...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think this is more color profile than flavor

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

But IPAs don’t have to be red?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Just ordered a red Irish ale based on this. Will report back.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I got this and it's actually my new favorite beer! Heck yeah!

Pale ale and IPA are the same, IPA should have spicy, earthy aromas

It's just that IPA became fashionable, and new brewers cover up their inexperience in brewing by adding way too many hops

Looking at you, USA

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Oh very yes, and making it all taste like grapefruit FFS!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's the same in Canada. I avoid small brewers that are known for their IPAs, and also people that claim IPAs are their favourite.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Eh, I totally understand where you're coming from, but I also think that a lot of those up and comers try their hand at hazy IPAs. They might not always be the most polished, but I do appreciate that these new breweries rely more on bold flavor rather than clarified appearance, you know?

If you're looking for a comprehensive beer style guide, I'd recommend checking out the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) style guidelines: https://www.bjcp.org/bjcp-style-guidelines/

It's a pretty comprehensive beer style guide, for those who want to go a bit deeper into all the variations of beer, with a decent amount of detail on each style.

From American Light Lagers through to some obscure and historical styles such as the Piwo Grodziskie, or Sahti... And everything in between.

I do not have permission to access the PDF.

Womp womp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Looks like they don't allow direct linking to the PDF. I've updated the link.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What's the clear one at the bottom called?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How about the white one at the top?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I knew I could count on you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Out doing some yard work and I could really go for a Maltings Irish Red right about now.
And of course... fresh out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lagers aren't universally highly carbonated, that'll depend on the brewer. Also to add on to the Hefeweizen section, it has notes of banana and cloves

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Banana and cloves are yeast flavors, so technically they have those covered.

It's called "IPA" and it's so hot right now!
