- Now you can finally match your beer to your drapes.
I'll have the red. I'll have the weiss. Or maybe the brown. Beer drinkers may use the same lingo as wine drinkers (thankfully, we don't have brown wine), but while the color may be indicative of style, it's not likely to be the determining factor.
Beertone - a clever play on the Pantone color wheel - is a visual catalog of more than 200 Swiss beers [h/t Laughing Squid]. Here beers are defined by their tones and hues. Color wheels are in the works for German and Brazilian beers. Do you ever consciously pick your beer by color?
