Categories
The following taxonomy is the collection of categories declared in this ontology. The hierarchical form is intended to show the ISA chain. Categories in [Brackets] are not defined here but are defined in an ontology extended by this one. Elements in {Braces} are additional supercategories of the category immediately before them (signifying multiple inheritance).

Inferences
No inference rules are defined in this ontology.Definitions
- Ale
- The English-language term for a brew made with a top-fermenting yeast, which should impart to it a distinctive fruitiness.
- Beer
- Bitter
- English term for a well-hopped ale, most often on draught.
- Bock
- The German term for a strong beer. If unqualified, it indicates a bottom-fermenting brew from barley malt.
- Brewery
- A business that makes beer.
- BrownAle
- In the south of England, a dark-brown ale, sweet in palate, low in alcohol.In the northeast, a reddish-brown ale, drier.
- IndiaPaleAle
- British pale ales for the Indian Empire were made to a higher than normal strength, and given more hops, to protect them on the journey.
- Lager
- Any beer made by bottom-fermentation. In Britain, lagers are usually golden in colour, but in continental Europe they can also be dark.
- Mild
- English term indicating an ale that is only lightly hopped. Some Milds are copper in colour, but most are dark brown.
- Organization
- One or more people who work together or have a common goal.
- PaleAle
- Pale in this instance means bronze or copper-coloured, as opposed to dark brown. Pale ale is a term used by some English brewers to identify their premium bitters.
- Pilsner
- Loosely, any golden-coloured, dry, bottom fermenting beer of conventional strength might be described as such (in its various spellings abbreviations) though this most famous designation properly belongs only to a product of "super-premium" quality.
- Porter
- A London style that became extinct, though it has recently been revived. It was a lighter-bodied companion to stout,
- Process
- A particular course of action intended to achieve results.
- ScotchAle
- The term "Scotch ale" is something used specifically to identify a very strong, and often extremely dark, malt-accented speciality from that country.
- Stout
- An extra-dark, almost black, top-fermenting brew, made with highly roasted malts.
