. . . and do you remember when GABF had only twelve (12!) style categories?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m doing a lot more reading of blogs than writing of blogs these days (when not being amazed by what a terrific climate Asheville has for all things local). Two topics I suggest you chime in on:<\/p>\n

– Should we be as excited about the screening of Beer Wars<\/em> on April 16 as the next episode of 24<\/em>? Start with what Andy Crouch has to write.<\/a><\/p>\n

– The proliferation of designated beer styles. Start with Jack Curtin<\/a>, but also check in with Jeff Alworth,<\/a> Tom Cizauskas<\/a> and Ron Pattinson<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I have one thought to add to Topic #2. In 1987 they began judging beers “by style” at the Great American Beer Festival. Got by with twelve of them, they did. Interesting to see what the 12 were:<\/p>\n

Ales
\nAlts
\nAmerican Cream Ales
\nAmerican Lagers
\nAmerican Light Lagers
\nBocks\/Dopplebocks
\nContinental Amber Lagers
\nContinental Pilsners
\nPorters
\nStouts
\nVienna Style Lagers
\nWheat Beers<\/p>\n

And the winners were . . .<\/a><\/p>\n
