02
Session IPA
All the hop flavor and aroma of a full-strength IPA compressed into a lower ABV (3-5%) package — perfect for long sessions when you want big craft beer flavor without the alcohol punch.

03

04
New England IPA (Hazy IPA)
The juicy, pillowy evolution of the IPA with a deliberately hazy appearance, low bitterness, and an explosion of tropical fruit aromas from late dry hopping — endlessly drinkable and food-friendly.
▲ Steady·Score +11
05
Scottish Wee Heavy
Rich, malty, and complex with toffee, caramel, dark fruit, and warming alcohol — Scottish strong ales are the antithesis of bitter IPAs, showcasing malt's full spectrum of sweetness.
▲ Steady·Score +11
06
Trappist Quadrupel
The strongest Trappist beer style brewed in Belgian monasteries — deep amber to brown with complex dried fruit, leather, boozy warmth, and deceptive drinkability despite 10%+ ABV.
▲ Steady·Score +10
07
West Coast IPA
The beer that sparked the craft revolution — bold, piney, citrusy, and intensely bitter with a dry finish. West Coast IPAs from California breweries like Russian River and Ballast Point defined a generation.

08
Belgian Saison
A farmhouse ale born in Belgian Wallonia, Saison is dry, spicy, fruity, and effervescent with earthy yeast character — the perfect summer beer with incredible food pairing versatility.
▲ Steady·Score +7
09
Imperial Stout
The most extreme dark beer style — thick, black, with massive roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, and sometimes barrel-aged whiskey notes reaching 10-15% ABV for a truly warming experience.
▲ Steady·Score +7
10
Sour Ale (Berliner Weisse & Gose)
Tart, refreshing, and often fruit-infused, modern sour ales bring vinegar-like acidity, complex funk from wild fermentation, and fruit additions creating something entirely unlike traditional beer.
▲ Steady·Score +6
11
American Amber Ale
A bridge between pale ales and darker styles, American Amber offers caramel malt sweetness balanced against moderate hop bitterness — the perfect gateway beer for craft beer newcomers.
▲ Steady·Score +6
12
Czech Pilsner
The original lager style from Pilsen, Czech Republic — brilliantly clear, golden, softly bitter with Saaz hops, and impossibly refreshing when served cold. Pilsner Urquell remains the definitive example.
