Out of the 80?

Curious to see how much people brew around.

Only 18 here, I brew a lot of the same styles.
 
I've done 25. Not sure that'll grow too much either since I've brewed most of the styles I like to drink.
 
Thirty-six.

Edit: Oops, missed a few. Forty-three. Hope to cover off quite a few more in the next year or so.

43 here as well, and looking to try more - but there are a fair number that I don't expect to brew again.
 
Looks like I'm around 27. Not a big fan of dark lagers, wheat beers, most belgians, smoked, sour, and scottish beers.

I'm not saying I'll never brew them as I've found examples of each that I've enjoyed, but they are at the back of 'things to brew' list :)
 
I don't brew many Scottish beers (too sweet for me), and I don't make hefeweisens or wits (hate that stuff), and I don't brew sours- but I brew lots of other styles.

I have done 46 different styles, going by memory.
 
49 here..... more than I realized.

But, quite a few I have only brewed one or two times, and don't plan on brewing them anytime soon again.
 
BJCP'ers are a bunch of knuckle draggers, that will place urinated club soda, with hops and alcohol in it, as a catagory for a Pilsner.
 
12 of those, but 3 of them I've brewed lots of times each. Maybe I need to break out of my shell?? Nah..
 
12. I actually got Brewing Classic Styles for Xmas so I can try more styles. But I only brew once a month so it is taking a while.
 
Hmmm....16? Sounds low compared to everyone else but higher than I would have guessed.

I brewed some style-less beers to... I suppose that's the specialty category and I did a cider last fall...

....Make it 17 ( can't count the cider- it was way to easy to take any credit for anyway)
 
I think 3 beers have fit into something besides the catch-alls between #20 - #23.

Brewing to style or for competition isn't one of my goals.
 
I've brewed about two dozen AG brews since starting 1-1/2 years ago and have about a dozen sub-styles from Jamil's book in that rotation. The first couple weren't the best but you could definitely taste the potential. It's amazing the changes I've seen along the way as I bought my own mill, temp control, learned proper yeast pitching & fermentation, dialed in my H2O, etc. Very rewarding and addicting hobby!
 
36 for me--more than I thought! Don't guess I'll break 45. Just too many beers I don't want 5-10 gallons of!
 
I've only brewed 9 of those styles, so far. But I'm only about a year and a half and maybe 12 batches into my brewing life.

Looking forward to trying many more styles in the future. I have the ingredients for a couple more batches which will take me to 11 styles, including my first sour beer.
 
Only 17 but I have only been brewing a year and a half or so. Other than the lagers, I've brewed at least one in almost every category, that surprised me.
