Imbibe's Beer Categories
Over the past several days, Imbibe Magazine has been throwing out teaser tweets to lure followers into picking up their latest copy, which touts the world's 99 best beers (the link takes you to just nine). Of course, any such endeavor requires a certain amount of sorting, and I am somewhat intrigued by the categories they came up with:
One day, in the not-too-distant future, someone will hold a beer competition with radically different categories, and it will be a hoot for everyone who enters. And some brewery will be able to say, "Voted best beer to drink with breakfast," or somesuch.
- Beers to drink with a burger
- Hop monsters
- Different but good
- Small beers
- Beers to serve your friend who claims to be a beer snob
- Beers to drink with dessert
- Organic beers
- Barrel-aged beers
- Beers to cellar
- Seasonals
