Our Readers Speak! Best Beers in America Survey

By Ray Daniels

Back in January we asked you, our readers, to name your favorite beers. Now we’ve got the results. The top beers are no surprise (at least not to us!) but several little-known cult beers snuck into the top tiers of the list. This story lays out the list and an interesting analysis of the results paves the way for the boat-load of clone recipes that fill this issue.

Heavenly Brews: Saint Arnold’s Amber and Fancy Lawnmower

By: Bev Blackwood II

From down south we found two beers that have won the loyalty of homebrewers – including one that is great for summer weather. As usual, we give you the clone low-down so you can brew them yourself.
