Beer Styles

With any luck the FAQ should be posted shortly.

This isn't as straightforward as it sounds as styles are subject to interpretation.When does a mild become a porter or a porter become a stout? The whole subject is full of examples and counter examples. As an illustration the 2007 GBBF Best Bitter was awarded to Castle Rock Harvest Pale. It's a lovely beer but I would personally place it in the Golden Ales category.

Maybe I should have been more specific! What I am looking for is (maybe a long shot) a complete list of "Milds, Bitters, etc."In current production. Not what they are! But dont point me towards the GBG as that is not what I want to see.

eg: Phoenix Monkey Town Mild B&T Black Dragon Mild Batemans Dark Mild And So On Peter (Urmston)

That is unfortunate, you see you asked a question and then ruled out the most complete answer.

It's rather like wanting to know the date of birth for ancestors born before 1837 and then refusing information from the parish registers in their birth place - other sources may possibly have some of the answer but you miss a lot of the information.
