Common Beer Terms

Dry Hopping:
Dry Hopping is the addition of dry hops during the first or secondary fermentation which will add a different hop flavour profile compared with using hops in the boil. Dry hopping does not affect bitterness only flavour as it is the process of boiling that releases the bitterness from hops.

Below you will find the Top 100 Beers (based on average score) that have been submitted by either Beer Guide staff, or our visitors.
