BJCP 2015 Beer Recipes by Style

Links to my favorite recipes by style. Not all are true to style. Some have fruit or spices that would make them more suitable for a specialty category. Some are close, but too strong/hoppy or otherwise off-style. I wouldn't suggest this as a list of recipes to win awards with!
