BJCP References on the Web

If you want information on signing up for the exam or the study group (check out this page if you haven't seen it yet) or both, see this info.

Style guidelines

• The AHA's style guide
• Tim Dawson's style guide
• New England Homebrew Competition Style Guide
• Stout style guide
• Belgian beer style guide
• The style area of The Brewery Infobase technical library has essays on a number of styles: American Wheat, Oktoberfest, Stout, Porter, Steam, classic American Pilsner, Pale American Lager, Bierre de Garde as well as some links to things listed above.
• Mark Thompson converted a style guide to flash cards. If you print this postscript file out single sided, cut each page in quarters, and fold each quarter in half, you will have flash cards with a style and substyle on the front, and the numbers, description, and commercial examples on the back.
