No.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Category 1-15?

 

[emjay]

American origin?

Yes.

Category 1-15?

Of?

 

[bottlebomber]

Of?

oh sorry, I thought I saw BJCP, not BA style guideline. Of course it couldn't be BJCP listed?

 

[emjay]

Of course it couldn't be BJCP listed?

You should know me a bit better by now than to think it might actually be BJCP listed

In case that wasn't clear enough: No.

 

[bottlebomber]

Alright alright

Pre-prohibition style?

 

[emjay]

Just want to clear something up:

It might not actually be totally American in origin, depending on what you mean by "origin", but the modern style is typically exemplified by American brews.

What I mean by "depending on what you mean" is that the NAME also existed elsewhere, but the modern "definition" of the style is American in origin - sort of like how IPAs back in the day would no longer be called IPAs these days.

Alright alright

Pre-prohibition style?

Yes.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Is the style defined by a specific ingredient?

 

[emjay]

Is the style defined by a specific ingredient?

Aren't all styles? You might want to phrase the question more fully.

I'm not picking nits, just trying to avoid a hopelessly confusing answer.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Ok, I'll try this again.

Is there an ingredient not found in other beer styles that is traditionally required for this style?

(such as saline water in Gose, juniper in sahti, etc)

Thanks. And no.

 

[bottlebomber]

[emjay]

Under 10 SRM?

Yes.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Is it a style typically associated with craft beer?

(before you tell me that's not a specific enough question, you asked me the same question verbatim )

No. (There's a reason I told you it wasn't specific enough.)

 

[Qhrumphf]

No. (There's a reason I told you it wasn't specific enough.)

Hah, just messing with you. It's impossible to play this game without some degree of misinterpretation on someone's part.

American-style Ice Lager?

 

[emjay]

Nope

 

[bottlebomber]

Is it a lagered beer?

 

[emjay]

Is it a lagered beer?

To be honest I'm not exactly sure, but I can say that they are typically lagers.

 

[Qhrumphf]

To be honest I'm not exactly sure, but I can say that they are typically lagers.

I'm a little confused by the question/answer here...

Was the question as to whether or not they use lager yeasts? Or whether or not they're lagered (cold conditioned)? The answer leads me to believe that they typically use lager yeasts but may or may not actually be lagered. I just want to make sure that I'm not misunderstanding.

So....malt liquor?

Alright, got a fairly easy one.
