I'm going to go with no

 

[emjay]

Some sort of plant material?

D'oh.

Lambic basket! That, or penis gourd.

 

[bottlebomber]

D'oh.

Dammit!!

I'm surprised you didn't zero in on it right away. I should have waited

 

[emjay]

Hah. I kind of had an unfair advantage... if somebody else would like to go, feel free!

 

[emjay]

K, whatever... Got one.

No.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Listed in BA guidelines?

 

[emjay]

Yes

 

[Qhrumphf]

American origin?

 

[bottlebomber]

Category 1-15?

 

[emjay]

American origin?

Yes.

Category 1-15?

Of?

 

[bottlebomber]

Of?

oh sorry, I thought I saw BJCP, not BA style guideline. Of course it couldn't be BJCP listed?

 

[emjay]

Of course it couldn't be BJCP listed?

You should know me a bit better by now than to think it might actually be BJCP listed

In case that wasn't clear enough: No.

 

[bottlebomber]

Alright alright

Pre-prohibition style?

 

[emjay]

Just want to clear something up:

It might not actually be totally American in origin, depending on what you mean by "origin", but the modern style is typically exemplified by American brews.

What I mean by "depending on what you mean" is that the NAME also existed elsewhere, but the modern "definition" of the style is American in origin - sort of like how IPAs back in the day would no longer be called IPAs these days.

Alright alright

Pre-prohibition style?

Yes.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Is the style defined by a specific ingredient?

 

[emjay]

Is the style defined by a specific ingredient?

Aren't all styles? You might want to phrase the question more fully.

I'm not picking nits, just trying to avoid a hopelessly confusing answer.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Ok, I'll try this again.

Is there an ingredient not found in other beer styles that is traditionally required for this style?

(such as saline water in Gose, juniper in sahti, etc)
