Turns out there are 23 main categories of beer, plus 3 categories of mead and 2 categories of cider. Who knew? Really interesting (i.e. dorky) reading if you are into beer and also kind of a nerd.

Beer Learnin' - the BJCP Guidelines
This is for the beer geeks out there. Ever wonder what exactly the distinctions are between different types of beers? What exactly makes a pilsner a pilsner and a lager a lager? The Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) has created the BJCP Guidelines to help resolve just such a question.

Beer Wednesday: Seventeen Black Lager by Avery Brewing
Avery Brewing is based in Boulder, Colorado, like many other cool companies. (Amusing sidenote: The tag line for Avery is "Small Brewery, Big Beers". Our friend Grace Boyle is also based in Boulder and has a blog called Small Hands, Big Ideas. They should, like, share notes on tagline creation.)
Avery tends to produce beers with interesting styles. I like that few of their beers are by the book; that experimentation must be fun for the brewer and is definitely fun to experience as a beer drinker.
The 17th Anniversary Dry-Hopped Black Ale by Avery Brewing is a great example of their creativity.
