Each year the Brewers Association Beer Style Guidelines are reviewed and revised. As noted on the Brewers Association website, “The Brewers Association Beer Style Guidelines are compiled for the Brewers Association by Charlie Papazian, copyright 1993 through and including 2014, with Style Guideline Committee assistance and review by Paul Gatza, Chris Swersey and suggestions from Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup judges.”

Charlie Papazian did a great job of summarizing this years changes in his Examiner.com article.
