Download or read book Hatch's Classification of Beer written by Laurence C, Hatch and published by Laurence Hatch Press. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classifying the world's great lagers, ales, stouts, porters, wheat beers, and sour beers is a complex and tricky thing. This new innovation system to 165 different substyles is different in a number of ways. It can be used royalty free (under specific guidelines) by any author in their articles, books, blogs, and such. Most existing systems do not accommodate the new variations on styles such as the Fruited Double Rye IPA or FRIPA or the Chocolate Mole Stout (CHMST). It is available in many formats including this PDF ebook, a website, JPG image, HTML table, and a variety of searchable and sortable spreadsheets like Open Office Calc and Excel. A new set of abbreviations makes it handy to use the system in reviews or describing hybrid brewing styles or when blending your own beer. A set of suffix codes specify specific treatments like as (B) bourbon wood aging, (UN) unfiltered, and (BO) for bottle conditioned.
