Why Do We Need Yet Another Beer Classification System? I'm Larry Hatch and My Life Time Beer List Is Exactly 3238 As I Type This, Growing by 4-8 Per Week Title: Hatch's Classification of Beer Version: 1.2 Last Revised: September 10, 2018 Substyle Count: 204 Protection: Copyright 2017, 2018. Laurence C. Hatch. All Rights Reserved. Contact: [email protected], please mention "hatchclass" in the subject line Please scroll down for the main online table.... Why do we need yet another beer classification system? I'm Larry Hatch and my life time beer list is exactly 3238 as I type this, growing by 4-8 per week. And I've written reviews of each of the 3238 in case anyone cares. There are many fine classification systems to basic things and some with lots of detail on IBU, ABV, and other metrics. Some of those wall charts are so amazing, pretty, and complex it would take a year of sobriety to begin to figure out just one section of those things. I wanted a system that includes more and does more, with some crazy twists, namely: 1. Includes and accommodates numerous modern substyles and subsubstyles such as the Fruited Rye IPA or what I call the FRIPA. Just had a Coffee Brown Ale or COBA that was neither a porter nor stout. 2. Seeks to organize synonyms across history and the industry today. That is very long term but I'm trying. 3. Is available in sortable, searchable format such as downloadable spreadsheets for easier classification by character (sort by any combination of characters you wish). You beer/computer geeks can of course convert that XLXS or ODS file to a hundred different database formats you desire. Please do. 4. Suffix system to support special treatments such as bottle conditiong, wood aging by species, and unfiltered variants of a substyle 5. Is free for use by any author in their own books, article, blogs, etc. within certain Use Guidelines 6. Supports nomenclature of blended samples or new labeled brew hybrids such as when I dare to mix an Oatmeal Stout (OST) with a Fruited Wheat Ale (FWHA) = OST x FWHA 7. Is regularly updated with new data and substyles but with handy abbreviations used to denote blended or hybrid styles 8. Abbreviation system which accomodates special treatment such as OST(B) meaning aged in bourbon barrels or RIPA(S) Rye IPA aged in sherry barrels. (P)=port and (R)=rum too. 9. Fully integrated with published beer reviews from many authors using the products. My own Hatch's Guides will begin this process and I welcome all my fellow authors to use the system with or without their own modifications. Nothing is ever perfect from humans and I hope the beer writing community will share their wisdom and ideas so this system improves and becomes more useful day by day. 10. Free spreadsheet downloads lets the user record their own notes, favorite examples of each style such as your best in the style ever, and perhaps your own brewing experience in that style Approved suffix codes: (B) = bourbon barrel or wood aged, ie. BW(B), a bourbon wood aged barleywine product (BO) = bottle-conditioned, especially if some labels are not treated so (CA) = cabernet barrel or wood aged (CH) = Chardonnay barrel or wood aged (M) = Mesquite wood aged (P) = port barrel or wood aged (R) = rum cask or wood aged (S) = sherry barrel or wood aged (W) = wood aged, type of donor barrel not specified ie. "cask" or local tree staves. Name tree species if possible.. (SH) = single hop variety, ie. DIPA(SH) (UN) = unfiltered, ie. Fruited American Wild Ale (FAWA) becomes FAWA(UN) (WI) = wine x beer hybrid, includes wine or grapes not just barrel flavors from wine barrels Data Field Names: Style #: each substyle has a number and an abbreviation. Use whichever you prefer. Style: substyle of the family style Family: primary or major style which includes ale, lager, stout, porter, sour, and wheat Abbrev: the unique abbreviation given in this system. We hope these become handy such as a Fruited IPA is a FIPA and Fruited Double IPA is a FDIPA Color: specified usually in a range using the terms yellow, gold, amber, red, brown, blackish Yeast: ale or lager is defined IBU: the general range in the trade, we have gone higher in some where there are intense, iced down or wood-aged variants into double figures ABV: the alcohol percentage by volume in a range Hops: specify Old World (ie. Noble or European), American, or various (either Old World or American) Misc: a short note on style, characteristics, and some brief defining qualifications for the new substyles (Add your own!): download a spreadsheet version and you can change anything you like, adding fields for your favorite example of his substyle, longer comments, and whatever your heart dreams. Hybrid substyle names are encouraged: This is because new substyles merge early ones and we can always blend two unrelated bottles to get curious effects. Try peach and heather or rye and chili sometime! As is true of plant and animals crosses, the convention of using an "x" for hybridity makes sense such as "DIPA x BPO" if I infused a Double IPA with a Baltic Porter. Or if I brewed my own baltic porter with an insane amount of C-hops. That actually works some of the time. In terms of a labeled product, the cross abbreviations suffice but for one's own blends a proportion or ratio naming format is more helpful to others such as "DIPA(20) x BPO(80)" indicating 20% for one and 80% for the base brew. One can rate each the blends individually and better yet but naming the donor labels.

  • Beer and Malt Handbook: Beer Types (PDF)
    1. BEER TYPES The world is full of different beers, divided into a vast array of different types. Many classifications and precise definitions of beers having been formulated over the years, ours are not the most rigid, since we seek simply to review some of the most important beer types. In addition, we present a few options for the malt used for each type-hints for brewers considering different choices of malt when planning a new beer. The following beer types are given a short introduction to our Viking Malt malts. TOP FERMENTED BEERS: • Ales • Stouts and Porters • Wheat beers BOTTOM FERMENTED BEERS: • Lager • Dark lager • Pilsner • Bocks • Märzen 4 BEER & MALT HANDBOOK. BACKGROUND Known as the ‘mother’ of all pale lagers, pilsner originated in Bohemia, in the city of Pilsen. Pilsner is said to have been the first golden, clear lager beer, and is well known for its very soft brewing water, which PILSNER contributes to its smooth taste. Nowadays, for example, over half of the beer drunk in Germany is pilsner. DESCRIPTION Pilsner was originally famous for its fine hop aroma and strong bitterness. Its golden color and moderate alcohol content, and its slightly lower final attenuation, give it a smooth malty taste. Nowadays, the range of pilsner beers has extended in such a way that the less hopped and lighter versions are now considered ordinary lagers. TYPICAL ANALYSIS OF PILSNER Original gravity 11-12 °Plato Alcohol content 4.5-5.2 % volume C olor6 -12 °EBC Bitterness 2 5-40 BU COMMON MALT BASIS Pale Pilsner Malt is used according to the required specifications.

    Media Alert Emily Lucier, Manager of PR & Marketing May 6, 2020 [email protected], 804.342.9665 Virginia Museum of History & Culture Partners with VCU, Local Brewers and Richmond Beeristoric to Launch New Thirsty Thursdays Series on May 7 Richmond, VA – The Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) is teaming up with experts from Richmond Beeristoric, local brewers and the VCU Office of Continuing and Professional Education for Thirsty Thursdays. In this Commonwealth Classroom program, viewers will learn about beers enjoyed by the 17th-century English colonists who arrived in this region, the growth of lagers in the 19th century, prohibition and its impact on brewing, and the craft beer revolution. “We’re very proud to join up with this team of experts for this series, with proceeds going to Ardent Helps RVA, which provides emergency grants for food service workers in crisis,” said Michael Plumb, VMHC Vice President for Guest Engagement. “We think it is vitally important to give back in this pandemic.” Every Thursday in May, local brewers whose libations reflect specific periods in Richmond’s beer history will provide tasting notes and information about their beers. Participants are encouraged to purchase beers from local retailers prior to the class so that can raise a social-distanced pint together. The cost per class is $6 for members of the VMHC or Richmond Beeristoric and $8 per class for non-members. Participants who register for all four classes in this series receive a discount: $20 for all four classes for members of the VMHC or Richmond Beeristoric and $25 for non-members.
