Zymurgy magazine–aka the American Homebrewers Assocation bi-monthly periodical–publishes a list of the best beers in America every year based on reader votes. The list of the 2019 Best Beers in America survey is here and, if we’re being honest, it’s in absolutely no way surprising. Bell’s Two Hearted Ale won top honors, followed by Russian River’s Pliny the Elder and Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale. Bell’s also took top brewery honors followed by Founders and Russian River. On the list, you’ll also find The Alchemist Heady Topper, Three Floyds Zombie Dust, Allagash White, Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout, Goose Island Bourbon County and a bunch of other variants from our Beer Bucket List.
