December brings about reflection and deep consideration about what the past year was all about. Am I a better person now than I was in January? Where have I grown and where do I still need to go? Did I accomplish my resolutions and which ones should I set for next year? What was the name of that amazing beer I had that one time?
We can’t help with the first few questions, but we are all over the last one. If you had a year filled with beer your head may be swimming trying to remember which was your favorite. So we went to the experts to find out which beers are still on their minds as we said goodbye to 2024. They waxed poetic about saisons brewed with heaps of beets, Belgian classics that were new to them, a famous stout being brewed with an African grain, and lots and lots of lager (of course).
In a year filled with beer, these were the ones that stuck with the people who know their brews best.
