Today’s infographic is yet another beer spectrum poster, this one from Great Brewers. This one is done in a wheel format.
Know Your Beer Styles
Today’s infographic is another beer spectrum poster, this one from the Blue Sky Brewery in Cairns, Australia, showing their beers along with some other popular beers along the spectrum.

Pete’s Landscape of Beers
Today’s infographic is the second of three similar charts that Pete Slosberg created for Pete’s Wicked Ales. It also shows popular beer styles (remember this was the late 80s) and where they fell on an x/y axis spectrum, and also includes color along one additional axis. It was one of the first great educational tools for explaining the variation in different beers, something that most people didn’t know anything about back then.

Beer Styles
Today’s infographic is a kind of venn diagram, a somewhat different way to show the spectrum of beer styles, and also includes two axis, one between sweet and bitter, and the other between fruity and malty. It’s used by a beer distributor, Monarch Beverages Co., as a part of their surprisingly extensive educational section of their website. I got an especially good belly life out of the “you are here” sign pointing to “light lagers.”
The World Of Beer
Today’s infographic, The World of Beer, is subtitled “An introduction to the major types of ales and lagers.” So at least they’re not trying to be complete. Still, I”ve seen worse overviews.
Das Bier
Today’s infographic is a poster of different common types of beer called Das Bier. It was created by Lemonwood Design.

Funky Brewsters
Today’s infographic is a funny one, and comes from the Huntsville Beer Week, which took place in Alabama last October. The local paper created a fun poster for the event, entitled Funky Brewers, which anthropomorphized various styles of beer, giving them unique personalities that corresponded to the character of their flavors. It was created by the staff of the Huntsville Times and illustrated by Bethany Bickley, and the whole process is explained in Brewing up something special for the weekly entertainment tab in Huntsville, Ala. at the website of the American Copy Editors Society. To fully appreciate the humor, not all of which works, you really need to see it full size.

BA Releases New Style Guidelines
The Brewers Association this morning released the 2013 Style Guidelines. According to the press release:
Updated annually, this year’s version defines 142 styles of beer, up from 140 in 2012.
Compiling the guidelines annually is a collaborative effort, and the 2013 version incorporates more than 100 suggestions from U.S. and international beer judges and experts, brewers and beer lovers. This year, Adambier and Grätzer styles were added for the first time. Both are historic pre-Reinheitsgebot styles that are making a slow revival among U.S. and international brewers. Adambier and Grätzer are historically smoky ales, with the former thriving in and around Dortmund, Germany, and the latter brewed primarily in Poland.
Changes were also made to the guidelines for American wheat ale, reflecting a growing trend in the craft brewing and homebrewing communities by which all-wheat grists are used in the brewing process.
A pdf of the new guidelines can be downloaded at the Brewers Association website.
The Very Many Varieties of Beer
Today’s infographic shows the Very Many Varieties of Beer, created by Pop Chart Lab. For $27, you can buy yourself a copy of this infographic. It’s similar to the one I posted last month, but is older and doesn’t have the glassware suggestions, just the beer styles.

For some reason, there’s another version of this infographic around, with only difference (I think) being that some of the beers are in blue rectangles.
