BJCP Styles

Because it is based on the Beer Judge Certification Program requirements, BJCP Styles is the most instructive app for beer enthusiasts on this list. There's a list of hundreds of beer variations, each with a description of its usual scent, flavor, texture, and other characteristics. Because the app concentrates on broad categories like Czech Lager and American IPA, you won't discover listings for individual beers brewed by your local artisan brewery. Still, it's a terrific way to learn more about the characteristics of beer, mead, and cider, especially if you want to become a beer judge or home brewer.

Do you enjoy drinking beer but struggle to explain what you're drinking to your friends? If so, BJCP Styles is the app for you. The BJCP was established to qualify and teach beer judges, and the app allows users to rapidly check-up descriptions of various beer genres, such as fragrance, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel, ingredients, and statistics (IBU, ABV, etc). These style rules are an excellent method to learn about different varieties of beer and how they should look/taste/feel. iOS and Android versions are available.
