Lagers: These are the most common type of beer, characterized by a light and crisp flavor profile. They are fermented at cooler temperatures for longer periods of time, resulting in a smoother taste with less bitterness than other beers. 2. Ales: Ales have a fuller body and more complex flavor than lagers due to their higher fermentation temperature and shorter aging period. Common styles include pale ales, IPAs, stouts, porters, wheat beers and Belgian-style ales. 3. Hybrid Beers: Hybrid beers combine characteristics from both lager and ale styles to create unique flavors that don‣t fit into either category alone. Examples include cream ales, kölschs and steam beers. 4. Specialty Beers: Specialty beers are those that use unusual ingredients or brewing techniques to produce unique flavors not found in traditional beer styles such as fruit-flavored sours or barrel-aged imperial stouts aged in whiskey barrels for months or even years before being released for sale
