brewers could use when making certain beer styles. There are 

several guidelines published but we have used The BJCP Style 

Guidelines as a basis for our beer styles in our Standard Kits. 

We recommend you download the full PDF of these guidelines 

so that you become familiar with the list of agreed beer styles 

and the specification for these. This PDF can be found at http://

www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.php. The complete list of beverages 

that can be found in the BJCP guidelines is displayed below for 

your reference.
