Over the last decade, the craft beer scene in the United States has evolved and changed significantly. While the major labels like Budweiser certainly still have their time and place, there’s more than likely a great craft beer that’s being brewed in your home state that’s deliciously refreshing and tasty, not to mention largely independent from other major manufacturers. Trying to chase down every single one might be a bit of a fool’s errand, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try!
At SPY, we’ve spent some time searching for some of the best of the best, tasting them and determining which are our favorites. With a good mix of lighter beers for easy drinking, fun season beers, and heavy winter-ready IPAs, there’s undoubtedly something for everyone on this list. All that’s left is for you to decide where you want to start first.
