My top 9 beers of 2020
In the craft beer community, it is traditional to pick your top 9 beers of the year. And as today is New Year’s Eve, I thought it the best time to share mine with you!
In no particular order:
Arcade City by Brewdog Overworks - Sour Stout
Raspberry Skies by Vault City - Raspberry Sour
Valkyrie Vendetta by Brewdog Overworks - Cherry & Hazelnut Sour
One Winged Angel by Boutilliers - Raspberry Brown Stout
Affogato by Siren Brew Co - Coffee Ice Cream Pale Ale
Neo Normal by Siren Beer Co x Yakima Chief Hops - American IPA hopped with Talus
Coffee & Bramble sour by Vault City - Coffee & Blackberry sour
Stout Pout by Wasted Degrees - Raspberry Stout
Clusters by Neon Raptor - Peanut Butter & Chocolate Milk Stout
Usually I try not to repeat breweries, but my drinking habits have changed this year - I’ve been buying direct from breweries and not being able to try the variety available at bars I’ve had quite a lot from certain breweries. I’m happy with this top 9 though - I think it really shows what beers I like.
My top brewery of the year are my locals, Boutilliers - they have put out some amazing beers this year, support your small, local independent breweries everyone!
I love trying new beers and discovering new flavours and aromas. If you do too, I’ve got a course that can help build your confidence in beer tasting starting on 11th January! Come join us on Build Your Beer Vocabulary here.
