Eliminate 3 Styles

Founders does!

 

I seriously can't think of any three beer styles I'd be willing to give up. Perhaps AAL's but I'd miss the hell out of anything else.

 

You, more than anyone else I have witnessed on these forums, seem to have a huge grudge with the East Coast. Why?

 

Thank goodness you spared good ol' ginger beer for Moscow Mules!

 

Rauchbier, Gose, Kolsch.

 

Eliminating any style is blasphemy!!! The amount of choice and styles is why craft beer is awesome. Winos only wish they had as many options.

 

Why would I want to eliminate any styles? If you want to drink something I don't enjoy, go right ahead.
I refuse to participate.

 

Coffee beers, Pumpkin beers, and the 22oz bottle format would face my firing squad.

As Roger Waters once said, 'Hey, posters, leave those beers alone!!'

 

American Adjunct Lager
English Brown Ale
Amber/Red Ales

 

But pilsners ARE a style of lager

 

Kolsch
Lager
Light Wheat Ales
...or even, some of the seasonals that come out, like a hallmark card....

 

1. Ales (just don't like that yeast profile)
2. Lambics (just don't like that yeast profile)
3. Imperial beers (again...the yeast profile)

 

I would eliminate the following:

Fruit Wheat Beers(that aren't sours)
Hefeweizen(cause summer doesn't need them when we have perfectly good saisons)
Light lagers of any sort

 

Amber Ales
Barleywine
Brown Ales

 

nut brown ale
Adjunct lagers
braggot

 

I thought this was going to be more of a eliminate three styles that are over classified and simplify the classification of beer styles. As in we don't need quad when Belgian Strong Dark Ale will do, and American Imperial Stout vs Russian Imperial Stout do we really need both couldn't it just be one Imperial Stout category. the only style I really agree with eliminating would be American Adjunct Lager.

 

Imperial Pils - why? It's a Pils, it doesn't need to be pumped up on steroids.
Fruit Beers - hate em, even the pumpkin ones

 

so you can sleep well at night knowing that if granted the power you'd wipe these beers, among many, many others, off the face of the earth?

anchorage love buzz, dupont aves les bons voeux, saison dupont
big foot, old stock, old ruffian (i'm not even going to mention all the barrel aged versions of this style)

how about we eliminate 3 BAs instead of three beer styles? you're first. we'll do consensus voting on the next two.

 

Rauchbier, American Adjunct Lager, English IPA.
