Finding Your Perfect Beer: A Flowchart Guide

With Oktoberfest behind us and the festive season ahead, beer is almost always on the menu. But with so many different styles and flavors available, it can be overwhelming to know which one is right for you. This is where a handy flowchart comes in.

The folks at Cool Material have created a clever little chart that will guide you towards your perfect beer. Whether you’re a hardcore beer lover or a relative newbie, it’s a great tool to help you navigate the world of beer.

So, how does it work? Simply answer a few questions about your preferences and tastes, such as whether you prefer fruity or bitter flavors, or light or heavy beers. The flowchart will then suggest a few different styles of beer that match your answers. You can then explore those styles further and find a specific brew that suits your taste.

One thing to note is that the flowchart leans more towards American-style beers, so some of the terminology may be unfamiliar to international beer drinkers. However, the chart does include some classic European styles, as well as more experimental American brews.

If you’re a beer lover, the flowchart is a fun way to discover new flavors and expand your palate. But what if you don’t like beer at all? Well, we have a few tips for you too.

Firstly, try different styles of beer. Just because you don’t like one type doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy another. For example, if you’ve only ever had light lagers, try a rich porter or a sour ale. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Another option is to try beer in a different setting. Maybe you’ve only ever had beer at frat parties or crowded bars, and that’s put you off the drink. Try drinking beer in a more relaxed setting, like a brewery tour or a picnic in the park.

If you’re still not convinced, there are plenty of beer alternatives out there. Hard cider, wine, and spirits are all popular options for those who don’t like beer. And if you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option, there are some great craft sodas and sparkling waters available.

In summary, whether you’re a die-hard beer lover or a reluctant drinker, the flowchart is a great tool to help you find your perfect brew. Simply follow the chart, explore different styles, and don’t be afraid to try something new.

Cheers!
