Without seeing the BeerExpert code, or what line is throwing the NPE in the .jsp, my best guess is that there is a null List being returned so the JSP throws the null pointer exception.
I would debug/print-out the contents of that List before you set it as a request attribute.

You're setting an attribute named "sytles" but looking for an attribute named "styles" in your JSP.
Fix the typo and see if the problem goes away.
