Hmmm, am I detecting a hint of elderberries and French soldier farts.

Oh, absolutely!!!!! Especially recently, with all the microbrews. Reno alone
has probably 150-15 microbreweries. I haven't counted in awhile.

Lots of differences:
The amount you roast the barley. (More roasting leads to darker beers,
though not necessarily stronger.)
The amount of barley and other forms of sugar. (Ultimately, the barley is
just a source of sugar for the yeasties.)
The type of yeast you use.
The type and amounts of hops you use.
When and how you add the hops.
Various adjuncts can be used - water hardeners and softeners, clarity agents,
additional flavorants...
Many things I've left out.
There is pretty much an infinite number of variations...

So as a mostly bone dry tee-totaler, what is the difference between these
different types of beers? I hear IPAs are bitter. No clue as to how it would
differ from a stout or ale or etc etc. I thought they were all barley, yeast
and water?

I just tried that Temptress last week – it was almost a dessert beer, what
with the mint and vanilla flavors. Surprisingly good – very drinkable and not
overly sweet. Normally a more hoppy (IPA, Imperial IPA, etc.) beer fan, but a
good stout is always worthwhile.

Probably not up your alley, but just tried the Big Bad Baptist last
weekend. Imperial Stout out of Utah with a 100 on RateBeer. It lived up to the
hype. One of the best I've had in a while. The only ones that come close are
Clown Shoes Brewery's Blaecorn Unidragon (Russian Imperial Stout), and
Lakewood's Temptress (Imperial Milk Stout). Mmmm....is it quitin' time yet?

I know Dos Equis isn’t Jaime’s drink of choice, but somehow these
