The 15th annual Zymurgy Best Beers in America survey is now open! Please take a few minutes to vote for up to 20 of your favorite commercial beers available for purchase in the U.S. at homebrewersassociation.org/zym-best-beers. You will need to log in to vote. Voting ends March 10.
While you’re voting, please take a few minutes to comment on one of your favorite beers or breweries in the comments field. This is not mandatory, but it is appreciated. Comments may be used in the July/August issue of Zymurgy as well as in future installments of “You’ve Gotta Drink This” in the Beeroscope section of Zymurgy
This annual survey definitely falls under the “who cares” category, at least for me.
I wonder if it even provides any useful marketing info for the breweries that make the winning beers?
who cares is about right. I view the yearly survey issue as a throw-away. The list is dominated by ballot box stuffing homers and then there is Pliny…which is good, but not in my wheelhouse. Who cares about the best beers you can’t get, and all the highly rated ones you know well but don’t particularly like?
Same here. I’ve said for years that ‘Favorite Beers’ would at least be an improvement. It’s plenty debatable what the ‘best’ beer even is within a given style, much less all styles lumped in together. Whatever.
I vote for Podunkville Pilsner, the stand-in for every local beer which is way better than every well-known you have ever heard of, but which will get only two votes from the locals who actually heard of them.
