Here’s the link. [http://www.brewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/5183/BA\_2011\_Beer\_Style\_Guidlines.pdf](http://www.brewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/5183/BA_2011_Beer_Style_Guidlines.pdf)

Just a cursory look through. &nbsp;Am I understanding the new guidelines for the Bock & Doppelbock. Seems like it would be quite difficult to tell the difference, and such a narrow OG range for the Doppelbock?? &nbsp;Cheers!!!

Those are the Brewers Association guidelines, not the BJCP guidelines.&nbsp; Those are the ones brewers use when entering the GABF.

These aren’t BJCP guidelines.&nbsp; Doesn’t mean that they aren’t interesting, but they are there for pro-brewers entering the GABF.

No worries, like alikocho said, it’s still interesting.
