Beer Styles to Try
There are a wide range of beer styles to choose from, and they can be confusing. Here are some recommendations from our expert team to help you taste your way through the beer culture.
India Pale Ale (IPA)
Although India played an important role in the creation of IPA, the country did not invent the brew. When the British colonized India in the days before refrigeration, the beer they sent their troops spoiled as it was transported around the Cape of Africa. A London brewer decided to use alcohol and hops as preservatives, and India Pale Ale was born. Today, there are three main styles of IPA – American, English, and Double or Imperial – and each has its own characteristics. They can be both strong and bitter and have ABVs between 5.5% and 7.5%.
Tip: Enjoy Shell Shock IPA from Cayman’s own Cayman Island’s Brewery. It’s a light bodied, golden ale that is bursting with aromatic hops that boast delicious flavors of citrus and grapefruit.
Pilsner
Pilsner is a type of pale lager that takes its name from Pilsen (originally in Bohemia and now part of the Czech Republic), where it was first produced in 1842. To appeal to consumers who disliked the top-fermented Bohemian beers in the area, a city-owned brewery was established to brew beer in the pioneering Bavarian style, using paler malts, Pilsen’s remarkably soft water, noble hops, and storage in cool caves, produced a clear, golden beer with a long shelf life. It was an instant success. Modern pilsner has a color ranging from pale to golden yellow and a distinct hop aroma and flavor.
Tip: Enjoy Stella Artois with its light, easy drinking taste. It’s a little stronger than most pilsners/lagers at 5% ABV.
Stout
Stouts are typically strong, dark beers. The term “stout,” in fact, was the generic term in late 17th century England for the strongest or “stoutest” porters produced by a brewery (typically 7% or 8% ABV). Today, the term is synonymous with dark beer, rather than just strong beer. There are different varieties of stout, including milk stout, dry or Irish stout, oatmeal stout, chocolate stout, Baltic stout, etc.
Tip: Enjoy Guinness Stout, an Irish Dry Stout, one of the most successful beer brands in the world.
