I ran across the first Best of 2019 list a week ago…
Craft Beer & Brewing, one of the few remaining beer magazines around now published their Top 19. I was heartened to see Beachwood Blendery on the list, Russian River nabbed a spot and one of my favorites from the year, the Crooked Stave Sour Rose was there which validated my taste buds. I just can’t believe that with 2 months left in an industry tilted towards spur of the moment tap room only releases that you can leave 2+ months of the year un-examined.
