It creates a more level playing field where a beer is judged on it's own merits, and not on how ridgidly it fits a style.

Those posts I tagged "beer styles" number all of six. Figure that I've failed to label another six and you've got a dozen. Figure that another dozen or two mention beer styles and you've got maybe 30 - 40 posts that treat the subject at all, or Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-40912939828953762722009-09-18T12:04:33.930-07:002009-09-18T12:04:33.930-07:00I nearly wholeheartedly agree.

This beer is primarily brewed for the growing number of people with serious gluten allergies. <br /><br />Everyone with this allergy knows that gluten free beers are inferior to normal beer.

Why can't you accept a name as just a name and get on with your life? Can't you appreciate that in a world of infinite styles, anything is possible? You seem obsessed with order for order's sake.
