Types of beer

Post by Barticus » Mon May 14, 2012 11:38 pm

Im sure there will be others out there like me who have grown up in the pubs that sell Fosters and John Smiths but dont really understand all the different beer types. Is there a thread on here or on the internet that explains the difference between terms such as

Stout
Bitter
Real Ale
IPA
ETC ETC

Theres quite a few names that are used on kits and it would be nice to know what they are on about.
