That is just a simple overview, there is a lot more to it.
You really shouldn't mix the British and German styles because of they are so vastly different, and then they are not even mentioning the Belgian styles/

Most of those average around 5-6%, though IPAs and some stouts (mmm, imperial stouts...) are the ones that push that limit more often (And the top couple will dip into the 4% range more often), in my experience at least.
That will be effected by the natural sugar content of the beer, and how completely it is allow to ferment. A few places in the us have laws that require beverages with over a certain ABV to be sold in licensed stores, so some major brands will actually have different ABV depending on the region.
From my experience, anything lighter than an IPA will usually be 3-6%, and darker brews (including IPA) could be anywhere from 3-10%.
This really isn't that good of a guide. Beer can be broken down to Lager's and Ales. And from there it can be broken down into sub-genres. This helps break down colors but there's a lot more recognizes styles and they can fall anywhere on this color chart.

All of these are just "beer" to me.

Yeah, it's all just foul-tasting brown liquid.

does this come with a 'typical' ABV list at all?

Sweet Guide thanks. Do you happen to know what the difference in brewing is for each type? Or if there is a guide for that?
[–] Fenrirwulf 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Not exactly for brewing, but here is the guide they use for judging the styles.

As I said earlier, it is a lot more complicated than that picture.
