Of course if something is brewed similar to an existing style, or model, but with an Americanized twist to it, then it can't then be pigeon-holed into a style. But I think touting a beer as "not brewed to any style" isn't what should be applauded. If so? Everyone will start doing this and the waters of brewing will really start to get muddy. If they're not already. BTW...Local 1 tastes like Duvel with Chouffe yeast to me. NEW style! :-) Cheers! This “no style” stuff is getting old and tiring.
