Hi Guys,

Just a a suggestion that the beer style drop down box should be exactly the same catergories as the BA Style Guidelines as a majority of the world follows these categories to enter beer comps.

I brew two beers that don't have a satisfactory style there - European Low Alcohol/ German Leicht (My Mild I've listed as Other) and an Australian Style Pale Ale (recognised by the Australian International Beer Awards, very different from American or English options)

Any way these categories can be added? I can provide proof or style tasting notes if required to legitimise the style.

Cheers and Beers

Steve

    Steve,

    Thanks for the suggestion! Right now we are in the process of redefining our styles database. Every change we make has positive and negative sides to so we need to make sure we get it right as not to offend people in the community. We typically go by a mixture of Beer Advocate, Rate Beer and BJCP.

    I will file this request away so we can tackle these when we get to the style revamp - but right now we are focused on native app release. Cheers!

    Thanks,
    Greg
