🌍 The Global Beer Scene: More Than Just Lager and Ale!
So, how many types of beer are there? Brace yourself—there are over 100 recognized beer styles, each with its own unique taste, aroma, and backstory. And that number keeps growing as craft brewers experiment like mad scientists in their labs (or basements). 😂
But don’t panic! Let’s start simple:
• **Ales** (warm-fermented): Think fruity, spicy, or bold flavors like IPAs and stouts.
• **Lagers** (cold-fermented): Cleaner, crisper beers like pilsners and bocks.
And then there’s everything else... sour beers, barrel-aged brews, session ales, and even gluten-free options for our celiac friends. 🙌
🍺 Popular Styles Every Beer Enthusiast Should Know
Let’s toast to some fan favorites! 🥂
• IPA (India Pale Ale): Hoppy heaven with citrus, pine, or tropical fruit notes. Perfect for those who love big, bold flavors. 🌴
• Stout/Porter: Rich, dark, and roasty, often tasting like coffee or chocolate. Great for cold nights when you need a hug in a glass. ❤️☕️
• Sour Ale: Tangy and tart, these funky brews are like drinking a wild berry patch gone rogue. 🍇🤯
Pro tip: If someone says they “don’t like beer,” introduce them to sours—they might change their tune faster than Taylor Swift at an awards show. 🎤
