So you may be asking yourself, what does ABV, IBU, and SRM mean? What is a beer style? Well, luckily you know some brewers who are about to drop some beer knowledge on you.

ABV: This is the Alcohol By Volume; higher the % the more Alcohol By Volume, or stronger the brew.
IBU: This stands for International Bitterness Units. The longer hops are boiled, the more bitter a beer is. There is a complex formula to calculate the number, but simply put, we add hops, and the IBUs go up! Just remember that IBUs may be perceived differently from beer to beer depending on how much residual sugar is left to balance out the bitterness. Hopidocious, brah.
SRM: The Standard Reference Method is used to determine the color of the beer. The higher the number the darker the beer. Just because a beer is dark doesn't mean it's heavy, so be sure to give everything a try at least once. We've attached a SRM scale below to help you with your decision process. Really though, best strategy -> Don't think just drink.
Beer Style: The Beer Judge Certification Program, BJCP, has created multiple beer styles. For each style there are strict guildlines for ABV, IBUs, SRM (which you're all experts at now after reading the above bullets), and ingredients used in the beer. We love how the different styles each have their own history and makes for easy work when comparing different beers. We also like to do things on our own way from time to time. Any style with an * next to it denotes, we didn't follow the guidelines this one's outside the box and does not conform to BJCP style. We believe that these beers are unique enough to warrant their own style and the only thing that matters is taste! So, BooYEA!

We believe that there is a craft beer for everyone. We hope you find yours @ DBC!! Thank you for checking us out!!
