Abstract
There are many different ingredients and processes used to make beer. To aid in finding a flavor that appeals or classifies similar flavors together, beers are often grouped together into styles. In this chapter, we will explore some of the main characteristics that allow beers to be grouped into styles, uncover some of the more common styles, revisit some of the historical styles that are beginning to make resurgence, and understand how to taste and evaluate beers.
