I’ve done a brew called Tella which is a beer from Ethiopia that is passed down from families for generations. Ranges from amber to dark like an indigenous porter. They use Gesho Kittel (leaves of a native buckthorn) as a hops substitute, Teff bread, and a native barley. Reply
Altbier is great – and is currently a fully-fledged and recognized style (non-historic, non-pending) by the BJCP. Reply

Canadian Spruce Beer – well documented since 1535. I am working with BJCP/AHA and Zymurgy on getting this to become an official style in the guidelines. I’d LOVE to be a part of this and will happily drive to Minneapolis to be a part of it as Historical styles are by far my favorite! Reply
Umqombothi – South African traditional style beer. Lucy Corne gave an incredible presentation on this style at NHC this year. Reply
