In the specialized world of craft beer and professional brewing, the "enjoyment" of a pint is an unpopular opinion; true mastery is a forensic calculation where the most valuable insights are found in the structural nuances of Colour, % Alc, and the specific Notes of the hop profile. A collector who relies on a general aesthetic appreciation to manage their journey is an enthusiast waiting for a forgotten experience. The professional understands that a beer is a sensory data set defined by its Brewery, its serving format (Draft, Bottle, or Tin), and its documented Future action. A journal that only tracks names is a list; a journal that tracks the intersection of Rating and verified Pub locations is a strategic palate-management engine.

The Ritual of Curatorial Discovery

The "Beers ver 2" template is designed for the serious enthusiast who treats every glass as a forensic event. It moves your tasting notes from scattered memories to a structured, mobile-ready digital vault. By standardizing the capture of the Beer name and the specific Brewery, the system ensures that your tasting history is always searchable and quantifiable. It acknowledges that knowing the Colour (from Light to Dark) is as vital for identifying style consistency as the taste itself.

The Blueprint: Sensory Intelligence Architecture

The structure of this library is built to handle the technical and creative density of expert zythology.

  • Evidentiary Precision: Dedicated fields for Notes and Colour capture the macro profile of the beer’s sensory DNA, preventing the erosion of context over time.
  • Logical Continuity: The template tracks the physical DNA of the experience, documenting the % Alc and the specific Comes in format, providing the evidentiary base for comparative analysis between draft and packaged versions.
  • Tactical Triage: With a 5-star Rating and a final 4-point Future action choice (from Seek out to Avoid), the system anchors your sensory act to your future acquisition decisions, facilitating high-speed cellar auditing.

Usage Scenarios: The Taproom Discovery

You are visiting a new Pub and find a rotating selection of twenty independent taps. Instead of guessing which one to try, you open Memento. You filter by Brewery and sort by Rating. You instantly see how your previous documented experiences with this producer compare to the current offerings. You verify the % Alc of your top-rated choice and check the Notes from your last visit. The digital archive has turned a potential high-cost guesswork session into a documented sequence of professional successes.

Power Feature: High-Resolution Decision Mapping

By utilizing the Future action field, the template transforms from a diary into a professional advisory tool. You can analyze your palate’s evolution over months or years, identifying which beer styles consistently yield a Seek out status for your specific taste. It ensures that your hobby growth is always supported by forensic-grade evidence of your personal results, turning a collection of glasses into a documented narrative of market expertise.
