This is a fun video that Ray Daniels tweeted about this morning. BJCP instructor Peter Campagna made a video showing bottles and cans representing each of the “76 Beer styles from the BJCP guide.”

Fun video, nice effort.
Like many others, I’m not really totally convinced that there really are actually 76 individual styles of beer since so many of the BJCP styles are merely variations (sometimes minor variations) of broader styles.
But that’s for another discussion.
Personal opinions aside,, hats off to Peter Campagna for a tour of the world of modern brewing . Even if I don’t believe the dogma that inspired it , there’s no denying that the research involved in obtaining the bottles representing the putative styles (not to mention consuming the contents) was an exhaustive effort.
And it must have been one hell of a party…. 🙂
Cheers!

Ditto the professor’s comments; but I was disapointed at the prfunctory tratment given to barley wines, give that so many good ones exist on the West Coast (not to mention Theakston;s Old Peculier)
