Many beer styles are classified as one of two main types, ales and lagers, though certain styles may not be easily sorted into either category.Beers classified as ales are typically made with yeasts that ferment at warmer temperatures, usually between 15.5 and 24 °C (60 and 75 °F), and form a layer of foam on the surface of the fermenting beer, thus they are called top-fermenting yeasts.
The Standard Reference Method or SRM [1] is one of several systems modern brewers use to specify beer color. Determination of the SRM value involves measuring the attenuation of light of a particular wavelength (430 nm) in passing through 1 cm of the beer, expressing the attenuation as an absorption and scaling the absorption by a constant (12.7 for SRM; 25 for EBC).
The alcohol content of the spirit can then be measured using a hydrometer and tables of density of alcohol and water mixtures. [3] A second accurate method is the ebulliometer method, which uses the difference between the boiling temperature of pure water and the boiling temperature of the beer being tested.
Beer style is a term used to differentiate and categorize beers by various factors, including appearance, flavour, ingredients, production method, history, or origin. The term beer style and the structuring of world beers into defined categories is largely based on work done by writer Michael James Jackson in his 1977 book The World Guide To ...

Hop water in a glass. Hop water is an American carbonated water, mainly flavored with hops, a primary flavoring of beer. [1] [2] Hop water was first sold by Californian homebrewer Paul Tecker, as H2OPS, in 2014. [2] [3] Production method varies between makers, but they all include adding hops in some form, like cones or oil, to water and steep ...
