April 25, 2013 By Jay Brooks

brewery-tanks
Today’s infographic is How Ales & Lagers are Fermented, and though I don’t know who created it, I found on Planet Beer. The illustration shows some of the basic differences in the brewing process between ales and lagers.

April 24, 2013 By Jay Brooks

home-brew-graphic
Today’s infographic is How to Homebrew, though I don’t know who created it originally. There’s a name at the bottom, but I can’t quite make it out. The poster shows the basic steps to making beer at home.

Gephi Dual Circle Beer Styles

April 23, 2013 By Jay Brooks

beer-styles
Today’s infographic is pretty cool. It was created as design exercise, by Kris Erickson on his blog, EricksonData. It’s what he refers to as a Gephi Viz, this time with beer data. He used the bottled beers listed in the BreweryDB, “and filtered out many of the smaller US brewers (according to number of beers entered into BreweryDB).”

Beer Family Tree

April 20, 2013 By Jay Brooks

family-tree
Today’s infographic comes from the Syracuse Pos-Sentinel, as a part of their Syracuse Beer Week coverage. It’s a Beer Family Tree and shows ales, lagers and hybrids at the top of the tree, and moves down from there, though the tree doesn’t have too many branches. Still, it’s a good starting point for a newspaper.

Generic Beer Infographic

April 19, 2013 By Jay Brooks

humor
Today’s infographic is perfect for Friday Frivolity, though I wish I’d known about it for April Fool’s Day. It was created by the UK beer bloggers Boak & Bailey, and suggests that not everyone is a fan of the infographic, and possibly not in favor of my project this year trying to round up as many of them as possible each day. Their Generic Beer Infographic is a hilarious take on many of the general infographics that have been created recently, and often get the information wrong.

Colombia Beer History

April 18, 2013 By Jay Brooks

colombia
Today’s infographic shows Five Centuries of Beer in Colombia, created by Pulpo. I suspect that if I knew Spanish it would even be cooler.

Beer Style Chart: Beer Styles Compared

April 17, 2013 By Jay Brooks

beer-styles
Today’s infographic is an amazing chart of beer styles, but not a static one. The view below is simply the starting point of the Beer Style Chart, from there you can manipulate it and compare styles in a myriad of different ways. This great resource was created by the folks from Strange Brew, a Canadian software company that makes a homebrewing program. There’s also a generated chart that shows difference in the styles.
