    How many of the beer styles (listed on BA) have you had?

    Are you interested in trying every style?

    Not sure how many are listed, but I have had 81, and it definitely doesn't seem like that many different styles! Still, I know there are far more that I haven't tried! The beer journey has only just begun!

    Everyone should be interested in trying every style other than pumpkin.

    I noticed today that my style count on BA is "97" and here is what I am missing:

    Happoshu - looks like a pretty rare style with the best one with more than 1 review weighing in at 3.79. I'll probably only go after this style if I have literally tried every other style.

    Japanese Rice Lager- Pretty sure I have easy access to Sapporo- but-eh.

    Euro Strong Lager
    Low Alcohol Beer

    Scottish Gruit/Ancient Herbed Ale- I've been kind of interested in picking up the Williams Brothers Variety pack but still haven't done it

    Roggenbier- I've had a "Roggenweizen" and a "Roggenrauchbier" but nothing this site considers a true roggenbier. I love the rauchbiers that I've had and am really interested in finding one

    Braggot- I have Brother Adams Honey Braggot in the cellar

    English Pale Mild Ale- I'm pretty sure I had one of these at a brewpub one time or another...it wasn't exciting enough to remember.

    I'm not really after trying EVERY style (i.e. I could care less about Euro Strong Lager and Low Alcohol Beer)- but now that I realized I'm so close I might go for it.

    I wish the bros would show the average score for each style so we could see how each style is perceived, because some are obvious (DIPA > Kolsch), but some are not.
    Maybe what i'm suggesting is a "style score" like ratebeer has.
    I think trying every style can be fun, but not neccessary

    Sahti I've yet to tic but I'm sure I will without too much effort.
    Happoshu is a tricky one, perhaps a good excuse to go to Japan.

    I did not bother counting how many styles I have had, but I can say that I would like to try every style that's out there.

    even if you don't like pumpkin beers you should still try it just for the sake of saying you've tried it.... but this is coming from a guy who loves pumpkin beer

    If I could find a list of styles worth the paper it's written on then I could begin to count.

    My favorite style of beer to grapple with like a gladiator does a lion is good beer.

    I've tried them all. I've even made up a few new styles along the way. :astonished:

    P.S. "Conquering" the beer styles? My advice: Sheath your sword. Drink more beer. :wink:

    Just a bit ago I managed to snag bottles of the last 2 styles I needed and drank them. So i'm at 104... maybe something new should come along so I have something else to seek out!
