The beer knowledge quiz is probably hard because several of the "correct"
answers are wrong.

There is no consensus on how many beer styles there are. Numerous
organizations split styles of beer up various ways, and the categorizations
change every year. The Beer Judge Certification Program has 28 major
categories, most with numerous subdivisions. The Great American Beer
Festival has competitions in 65. In other words, the question's bogus.

Also, barley is not the main ingredient in beer. It's water. That's what
makes it liquid. Water is somewhere around 90 percent, give or take, of a
beer's content.

Also, saying yeast was not part of the original beer recipe is dodgy. It's
not spelled out, because it wasn't discovered until the 1800s, but the stuff
wouldn't have fermented without it. Yeast's been a part of beer long before
people knew it existed and cultured it so other microbes wouldn't be part of
the brewing process (in most cases).
