Periodic Table of Beer Styles

[goose_on_fire]

A redditor (www.reddit.com) took that design and made the OP picture based on it. It's his first major foray into Photoshop. Here's his thread:

There he has links to ones with a white background, grey background, and the *.psd file.

Thanks, the jpgs were giving my eyes the fantods

Your table just improved my Doppelbock. It's 1.028 FG was previously out of range everywhere I looked but now I can RDWHADB.

Saw it on digg.

Missing a few styles to say the least, and a couple of styles aren't really distinct styles but I liked it. I also don't understand how some of the styles in the mixed category ended up there.

It took me 2 years to memorize the elemental table but 56 seconds to have this burned into my mind.

I bought a t-shirt with this on it about 11 years ago at the Great Taste of the Midwest.

There's also another neat table in that thread.

damn it, I searched first too. Guess I failed that one.

I say someone needs to edit that idea, and add the missing styles.

To me it looks like the original idea tried to resemble the real periodic table too closely at the sacrifice of real brewing usefulness.

I'll mess around with some ideas and try to post something soon.

to totally geek out on the actuall periodic table of elements, it would be cool to have the hybrid beers running diagonally down to the right between the ales and lagers just like the elements that have properties of metals and nonmetals. Baltic porter could also fit around there cause it could be both lager or ale

 

[WillPall]

I think I'm going to remake this and update it to be along the lines of the BJCP style guidelines instead. Also adding the missing styles as well. If I get it done before you Brewsmith, I'll post the psd and a png or whatever I end up with.

couldn't you push the other porters up and put baltic underneath?
