The 10 Easiest Beer Styles to Brew

Post by LouieMacGoo »

This year Brew Your Own (Magazine) is in love with the number 10. “Why?” you might ask: Because it’s the 10th anniversary of their existence as a magazine!
In celebration of this feat, we are happy to bring you a series of top-10 lists that will appear all year long. The first is a collection of the 10 easiest beer styles for homebrewers. Please keep in mind that “easy,” does not equal “bad.” We chose these classic styles because they represent the beers that have the best chance for success among homebrewers. Also, this list, and the lists to come, reflect the opinion of the Brew Your Own staff — we anticipate sparking some discussion among our readership and welcome any feedback you may have. Finally, we would like to thank the 10 homebrew shop owners who partook in this collection and offered us their brewing expertise and recipes for these easily brewed beer styles. Thanks to all. Cheers!
These look like some pretty good recipes and worth taking a look at and putting into your "To Do" list. :fedora:

My bad. I was so caught up reading the recipes I didn't pay attention to the original publish date.

:lol: hey, it's new to me :lol:
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Edgar Allan Poe
