50 Best Beers in America

7/15/2012

Zymergy magazine recently posted the 50 best beer in America as voted by its readers.

There are so many of our favorite beers on this list that it's really hard to be upset at the order. I think if we had to make a few changes, it would be to move Sierra Nevada Pale Ale out of the top 10 and add Union Jack. Celebration and Torpedo are both solid top choices, but personally, I would love to see some other styles represented.

What do you think of the list?

While I'm pleased to see Deschute's Black Butte Porter up there (it's good!), there are some (like Dogfish Head's 120) that have no place in such a list.

I agree that more styles should be represented. There's more to beer than hops and alcohol, but this list doesn't represent that at all. Still, the people have spoken.

Ya, I would love to know a little more background on the voters and how they voted - some voting systems can produce some strange results. It is kind of disapointing that in the top 20 there are only 2 beers that aren't a pale ale or ipa. And the two that are are an imperial stout and a barleywine

Yes all those beers on the list are excellent. But I think as KISS brew stated there is more to beer than hops and alcohol. I'd rather see a top 5 list for each style.
