I attended Gordon Strong's "Style Hunter" session at Homebrew Con 2018 where he discussed the provisional styles that have been added to the BJCP guidelines.  He talked about 6: NE IPA, grisette, New Zealand pilsner, Burton ale, Catharina sour, and one other.  I didn't take notes on it because it wasn't one that piqued my interest as something I wanted to brew, but now I've been asked by my club to give a presentation on the "new" styles.  Here's the rub -- only 4 of the 6 Gordon talked about actually got added.  I know it's not a big deal since that sixth style didn't make the cut, but it's bugging me that I can't remember.

Is there anyone on here that can remind me of what that last style was?  I want to say Mexican lager, but I'm not sure.  I know the people in my club would be interested to know what's on BJCP's radar, even if they haven't been added as provisional categories as of yet.

Blue Glitter IPA.

J/K, I dunno.

Yep, Mexican Lager was the other. He had a recipe for one in his presentation also.

Are we going to use this thread to complain about the new styles or should we start a new one?

Why not just use this one?

I was actually slightly (VERY slightly) serious about the Butterfly Pea Blue Glitter IPA.  I predict this could become a provisional style in 1-2 more years.  Maybe.

It's kind of funny, there are more than just a handful of craft breweries up here now making Mexi-Lagers, so I'm not surprised to see it as one of the provisional styles.
I like clean well made lagers, and the good ones I've had are quite enjoyable on a hot day.
