Hi All -
I’m trying to put together a list of locally available commercial beers we could use as good representations of BJCP styles for the upcoming BJCP study group (e.g. talk the style description, drink the beer, discuss, etc.). Does anyone have any good suggestions?
For reference, here is the BJCP style guide and see HERE for the post on the guide in French.
I started filling in beers that are listed in the guide and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen on store shelves recently (mostly macro stuff or SAQ imports).
I’ll try to keep this post updated with the suggestions that come for anyone to look back at later.
