    Below are beer types that can guide in you in your quest for more information about the drinks you adore. You may find some enlightenment as you read along and be able to relate some of these beer types below to those you have already tried.

    The information below will equally be useful for the future drinks you will try. At least you will be guided when that time comes – and be able to make an educated guess of what type it most probably be.

    If you have drinking companions who may be pretty much into their being beer enthusiasts – then with the information here, you can at least cope up with their discussion during your drinking sessions - or better yet, have your own take to the beer under evaluation.

    1.Monastic Ales

    This can be further classified as one that is brewed in a monastery by Trappist monks or one that is brewed in a commercial set-up. These are brewed according to monastic recipes in the Middle Ages. These have re-fermentation at times in the bottle and the resulting beer is considered to be top fermented.

    2.Lager Beers

    These are bottom fermented beers that may be filtered or not. These are brewed in the style of Czech Pilsners of Bohemia. These beers come in colors of amber, blond or dark.

    3.Wheat Beers

    These are made with barley malt with high content of wheat malt and raw wheat. These may be seasoned with spices and herbs – and may be filtered or not. Colors range from white, amber to dark color. And these may be spontaneous, top and bottom fermented beers.

    4.Rye Beers

    These are beers that are understandably having high rye content – that may be malted or raw. These are top or bottom fermented beers that may be filtered or unfiltered. These beers may come with refermentation and with seasonings or flavorings.

    5.Fruit Beers

    These beers have been added with fruit juices in one of the stages of production – may it be during the fermentation, lagering, etc. The added juice will give the beer its unique fruity flavor – and may correspondingly affect the color of the beer as well.

    6.Wild Beers

    These comes with or without refermentation. These beers are fermented with the use of airborne wild yeasts.

    7. Blended Beers

    These beers are a blend of two or more different kinds of beers. The intention is to create a unique flavor that is a softer version of the original. Some will also use this technique to revive an older beer.

    8.Barley Wine

    This is a top fermented beer that is brandy-like in taste but much stronger. This type is brewed with the intention of a higher alcohol content. One should not be misled by its name however, as it was just named so – to counter the strength of wine from long ago.

    9.Flavored Beers

    In this case – additional flavorings as chocolates, spices, vegetables, honey and the like are placed into the mix. The beer would provide the underlying flavor, with the added ingredient coming out to become the dominant taste of the drink.

    10.Seasonal Beers

    As the name implies, seasonal beers are made precisely for specific occasions or seasons. Brewers will have the option to make special mixtures or stronger brews for that matter that are suited to the upcoming event with the consideration of course to local tastes and preferences.
