# Beer Style

> An independent reference to beer styles, their flavor, history and parameter ranges. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

The site covers 128 entries in 35 groups, including historical and specialty entries and a Specialty IPA family overview. This is not a list of every beer style in the world.

ABV is alcohol by volume; IBU describes bitterness and SRM describes color. OG and FG are specific gravity, not percentages. Ranges describe styles rather than every individual beer. Conditional ranges remain separate. Some specialty entries vary with the base beer; missing numeric values do not mean zero. Illustrations approximate color; transparent glass outlines indicate no fixed color range.
