I lied

I lied!

As of 17B. Old Ale, I claimed to have successfully brewed at least one beer in all 2021 BJCP Categories.

Well, apparently, I completely missed entire categories after 27. HISTORICAL BEER.

For some reason, I thought the Historical Beer category was at the end. There were a couple more pages to go:

28. American Wild Ale

I've never brewed any of these styles.

29. Fruit Beer

Thanks to my wife, I have actually brewed several Fruited what beers such as: 

• Blackberry in Bed American Wheat
• Boo Berry American Wheat
• Where'd My ManGo Wheat

30. Spiced Beer

• Most of my X-Mas Ales fall into this category. 
• Gringo Cerveza Jalapeño Cream Ale also fits nicely.
• Will-o-Wisp Pumpkin Ale

31. Alternative Fermentables Beer

• My gluten free beer fits here ... Free the Glutens! APA

32. Smoked Beer

• X-Mas Ale 2013 used (too much) smoked malt.

33. Wood Beer

As far as I remember / have been able to find. I don't have any Wood Beers made. Seems like a good candidate for 2023 X-Mas Ale.

34. Specialty Beer

This is sort of a catch-all category for "everything else". I've done lots of experiments, but most of them probably fit in other styles. I do think I've brewed a couple that satisfy this category:

• N.T.S. Faux Pilsner
• Bluefield Chocolate Ale

So ... I guess that is only a couple more categories I need to knock out to say have successfully brewed at least one beer in all 2021 BJCP Categories.

I'll have to make sure I do this in 2023. Stay tuned on Sheppy's Blog: BJCP Goal and you'll see what I brew in American Wild Ale and Wood Beer.

Should be fun!
