    To my surprise I have had 45 different beer styles on here.

    What about you all? How many beer styles have you had?

    Wow, nice... I was wondering if anyone reached the 100 level, or all of the styles on here.

    83, with eight more on hand. After that, it gets tough. There ain't a helluva lot of Braggots, Sahtis, Happoshus, and Kvasses to be had around here.

    Just in case anyone was wondering, you can check your styles under the "Your Beers" tab under Beers. On the right side of the screen has a box with your stats.

    According to this site, 51, which seems like a lot. I think some of the style categories are a bit arbitrary.

    I just started keeping track around 12 months ago and I'm at 42. I'm a little surprised at that number.

    92 currently. I've never had Bud Light/Miller Light/etc. so it was at 91 until in the last week when I had two "craft light lagers" without realizing what style they were. Now that I've inadvertently checked off that style box I can reaffirm my resolution to never taste that macro swill!

    Never kept track specifically, but I would guess pushing 100. For a while a group of us were doing tastings, each one focusing on a given style, with each of us assigned to a sub-style within.
    For instance, within BJCP style 13, stout, there are the sub-styles
    13A. Dry Stout

    I might be assigned for the 13A dry stout, the next person 13B, and so on.
    It was very interesting to compare the sub-styles to each other - what really is the difference between an American stout and a Foreign Export stout, plus we got to try a lot of great beers.
    I think over the couple years we were doing this we got through almost all of the 23 (using the 2008 BJCP guide) styles. I wasn;t able to make it to all the tastings, maybe 15 of them, so doing the math, plus what I've had on my own, I would guess around 100.
