The top 10 beers chosen by beer enthusiasts across the US
Business Insider
Melia Robinson
One of the most prestigious beer rankings in America has crowned a new champion in a major upset.
For 15 years, Zymurgy Magazine - the official magazine of the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) - has asked the group's tens of thousands of members to cast votes for the best beers in the country. The idea is that Zymurgy readers, as homebrewers, have more refined palates than most and can suss out the winners.
Pliny the Elder, a double IPA from Russian River Brewing Company, held down the top spot for eight straight years - until now. Read on to find out the best beers in America and which IPA dethroned the king.
10. BALLAST POINT BREWING CO.SCULPIN IPA
8. SIERRA NEVADA BREWING CO. CELEBRATION (TIE)
8. DESCHUTES BREWERY FRESH SQUEEZED IPA (TIE)
6. THE ALCHEMIST BREWERY HEADY TOPPER (TIE)
6. FOUNDERS BREWING CO. KBS OR KENTUCKY BREAKFAST STOUT (TIE)
5. BELL'S HOPSLAM ALE
4. 3 FLOYDS BREWING CO. ZOMBIE DUST
3. FOUNDERS BREWING CO. BREAKFAST STOUT
2. RUSSIAN RIVER BREWING COMPANY PLINY THE ELDER
1. BELL'S TWO HEARTED ALE
Kalamazoo, Michigan
The new king of beer is an IPA that - unlike its sibling Hopslam Ale - uses 100% Centennial hops picked from the Pacific Northwest. Balance is key here. The hops aroma bursts with grapefruit, pineapple, pine, and a hint of spice - but a rich, caramel malt backbone tames the bitterness. A crisp finish leave you craving another sip.
With a more modest 7% alcohol, you better make it two pints.
