What Was Your Favorite New Beer Of 2011? [Poll]
A few days ago we released the Drink Craft Beer Top 11 Craft Beers of 2011. These were the beers introduced in 2011 that impressed us the most. As many have pointed out, though, it's an extremely Northeast biased list. One of the great things about craft beer is that each region has it's own breweries; one of the tough things about this, though, is that you usually don't have access to those breweries in other parts of the country. While we'd love to travel around the country all the time and try everything, we simply can't. Luckily, we have all of you craft beer drinkers who can help us out with this!
We put out our Top 11 New Craft Beers of 2011, but we want to know what YOU liked this year! What was your favorite NEW craft beer released in 2011? We'll compile all of the votes and then release a Nationwide Top 11 of 2011 list on Tuesday, January 3rd. Since this is a list of 2011 beers, voting closes at the stroke of Midnight on New Years Eve, so you have to get your vote in while the calendar shows 2011 and not a second later!
As usual, vote below then let us know what you voted for on Twitter, on Facebook or in the comments below the poll.
