Add three styles

1. Imperial Brown Ale
2. Vanilla Stout
3. Green beer (Sorry, I couldn't come up with a third one. Damn those English!)

 

2nding fruit stout in something other than cherry or raspberry. Though I've heard of blueberry. Give me jaffa - orange/chocolate stout. Okay wait it looks like BrewDog did that. Give me caramel banana - I know, I know, but just wait and try it. Give me blackberry stout. Okay goddamnit somebody already did this one too. Give me peach stout. Jesus! Done as well. Okay well nevermind, that one's done already. PEPPERMINT STOUT, MOTHERSCRATCHERS. Also beef stew stout. Potato pilsner. Beet old ale. Crab juice and Khal Khlalash.

 

Barrel Aged Stout. that way non-BA stouts have their own category.

 

session barley wine
imperial barley wine
quad barley wine

 

Dont give BMC any ideas

 

He's not from here...

 

Bacon Beer
Imperial Barley Wine
Barrel FERMENTED ale
a 4th (sorry to be THAT guy) Mixed beers, like firestone walker anniversary and abyss

 

I don't understand this argument at all. Suppose Pursuit of Hoppiness is a great beer. If it won an award at World Beer Cup, it probably is. What on earth does that have to do with whether it represents a new beer style or not?

 

Wet/Fresh Hop Ale

 

How about:

IPA
DIPA
RIS

Oh wait, already done…guess I'm good. Cheers ~

 

Barrel Aged Weizenbock (BAW)
Double Quadrupel (DQ)
Super Strong Barleywine (SSB)

We need more stupid acronyms to abuse...

 

Would be interested in a session barleywine, but a quad barleywine would have to be something that tastes like hoppin frog naked evil. That beer was a taste of wonderfullness

 

Bbbaaacccooonnn Bbbbeeeerrrrr!!!!!!!!

Beacuse it's always better with bacon!!!

 

i could get behind the BAW, sorry could'nt think of any stupid acronyms to use,lol.

 

Triple Adjunct Pilsner (TAP)
Truffle Hopped Amber Tripel (THAT)
American Session Saison (ASS)

 

Double Chocolate IPA
Smoked Hop Ale
Fruit and Oatmeal Stout (that one actually sounds good)

 

I only want to add one style. The IPA that doesnt fade. EIPA. Eternal India Pale Ale.

 

The Germans and the Czechs among others were very inventive as well. Often a case of "needs much" but when you look at all the work done by our forebears it does bear out what you say.Tweaking recipes doesn't create new styles.Also of course in the past nobody knew or cared about styles, they just got on with brewing to get the best results with what they had.Which is why style guidelines become more flawed the tighter and more specialised they get.

I would like to add genuine Scotch Ale, not the stuff which is passed off as this.

 

Olde Hickory just released an BA Imperial Brown called "Daniel Boone." Very tasty!

 

I liked the idea but the thread has been degenerated into nonsense and/or misinterpretation enough that I don't care to sit down and think through which styles I would really like to add.

However, while I do understand that an overabundance of styles can pose a problem, I also lean towards more is better. There are so many recognized styles of beer that the BJCP just lumps into general and "specialty" categories. I mean, a Belgian IPA gets entered into the same category as a Trappist Quad... really?

My main issue is with the known/established styles. I don't condone the creation of something like Triple IPA, and even Belgian IPA isn't so odd in a "specialty" category. But beers like Quad, Sahti, etc seem like they deserve their own style listings.
