New Beer Styles

It took a while but in 2015 the BJCP finally recognized these Czech styles. They created the beers styles:

· Czech Amber Lager (Polotmavý, Polotmavé)

· Czech Dark Lager (Tmavý, Tmavé)

Na Zdavi

 

Just recently had to decide whether to add a New Zealand Pilsner as either 'Czech/Bohemian' or 'German' pilsner. Checked other entries that I know are NZ styles and their addition are almost evenly split between the two. The BJCP does have a separate style listing for NZ Pilsner, maybe time for BA to add it as well.

 

No Italian Pilsner style that I could see. Look under 'Provisional Styles' for the NZ entry. The type of hops seems to be the biggest difference.

 

New Zealand Pilsner is not included in the official BJCP style guideline document (2015). There is a category of "X5" for a New Zealand Pilsner that was posted in 2018. Maybe this means it is a style under consideration for the next update of the BJCP style guidelines? @hopfenunmaltz

Pale Commonwealth Beer. Hmm.

 

Pale Commonwealth Beer (PCB) does have its fans.
From a 5/5/81 NYT article

 

Umm...



That's not Printed Circuit Board then, I can assume.

 

Yes.

Cheers!

 

That is marked provisional, and if it gains a following and is entered in competitions it will probably become a substyle.

 

In a word, yes.

 

How long before there's a Hazy Pale Ale added to the styles. Granted, I've only seen a couple.

 

You must not be looking hard enough then.

 

I reckon that I have selective vision.

 

My vision is compromised but my taste buds are intact. For me Hazy Pale Ales are their own category.
