I made this app to help myself study beer styles better, you can click on other beer styles mentioned in one you're currently viewing to easily jump over and reference that style and then easily go back to the one you started with. There be other features coming soon to help with memorization and light quizzing as well as sorting tools and special search capabilities to help you study beer styles better These styles are also based on the 2021 beer style updates. Some liberties have been taken with styles whose data is not formatted in a uniform way compared to most of the other styles. Some of these are the Saison style and the historic styles, they will be close but may have different wording than the actual; 2021 beer guidelines. Nothing more than light cleanup, they say the same thing overall.

Beer Style Study's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
