  2. Agenda • Introduction • BJCP Beer Styles • The problem with BJCP • My Solution • Project Description • Related work • Discussion

  3. Introduction • Homebrewing beer is a hobby that is growing rapidly in popularity • Notable homebrewing success stories • Homebrewers live by style guidelines • BJCP produces the de facto style list for homebrewers

  4. BJCP Styles • Used to categorize a particular variety of beers • Numerical stat ranges for original and final gravities, bitterness, color and alcohol content. • Has text descriptions for Aroma, Appearance, Flavor, Mouthfeel, Impression, History, Comments, Ingredients and Examples. • Used in every brewing software application and in all major homebrew competitions.

  5. The Problem • BJCP Styles are the most complete style reference there is, but they lack thorough example listings. • Lots of great information provided, but nothing concrete to tie it to. • Updates to the few examples that DO exist only happen every few years.

  6. My Solution • Tap into largest beer community on the internet. • Map BJCP Styles to BeerAdvocate’s own styles. • Use a Google search to query for BeerAdvocate examples. • Mash up three sources of data in a seamless way to allow connection of BJCP Styles to commercial beer examples.
