Best beers in America
- Thread starter 1100011CS
- Start date
I think I've had 7 of the 10 on the list. And 14 out of the Top 24. Not bad for a guy who doesnt' travel a whole lot.
I had SNPA for the first time in a long time last fall. I'd forgotten how good of a beer that really is. Underrated in my mind for sure.
I think Hopslam is one of my favorite beers ever. Even though it was better last year. Every year people say that.

When I first starting drinking craft 2 hearted and Hopslam were my favorite beers. Now I don't even really like them at all. SNPA was there at the beginning too but I still dig that.
I got my favorite sticker from Bell's though. "If God wanted us to filter our beer, he wouldn't have given us livers."

Of the top 10, I’ve only not had Pliny. I have heard that Pliny was way ahead of it’s time, and built a reputation because of that, but now it’s a bit overrated. Still a great beer, but overrated none the less. Again...that’s just what I’ve heard, as I haven’t had it.
Had Juicy Bits (Weldwerks) for the first time a few months ago. Very tasty beer, but I actually liked 3.8 Miles more.
Solid top 10.
For some reason, the link to the rest of the list won’t work for me, so can’t comment on the rest.

Just based on your posting, i know you as quite the beer connoisseur. Weldwerks keeps their stuff out of big liquor stores. More “mom and pop” distribution outside of the taproom.
If in Denver, stop in at Genesee Wine & Spirits just off of 70 west of Golden. They should have WW. It’s good stuff.

Hmmmm beer.
Two on the list I've had. I have come to the conclusion, the best beer for me is the one I am drinking at any particular moment.* As the article notes: Compiling best beer lists has become virtually impossible. America ended 2018 with around 7,400 breweries...
Not only 7,400 brewers but there are many "best" lists.
*Frosty mug right now full of Session Pale Ale, Point.

If you really think about it though. SNPA is really a solid beer. There are times I'll be looking through shelves and remember just how much I enjoy drinking it. It really doesn't try to be more than what it is, a really solid easy drinking beer with a lot more flavor than your BMCs, without hitting you in the face or filling you up to fast.
I think historical importance is getting a lot of credence in this particular ranking. All of these beers did something well, ahead of others, and became cornerstones of craft beer.
