Please Nominate The Best Craft Beer of 2017
We are coming to a close on 2017 and would like your help in nominating some of the most interesting and delicious craft beers that made their debut in the calendar year. Please read on for how you can participate and make our flagship poll the best it can possibly be.
It’s really simple to nominate The Best Craft Beer of 2017. Think of any craft beer (click for craft beer defined) that made it’s bottle/can or wide draft distribution debut from November 2016 – today. Keep in mind, if it just came out today, a lot of people have likely not tried it yet. Once you have one or a list of beers, simply add it to the comment section below. Once we have a good sized list, we will publish our poll on December 26, 2017.
If you need help determining if a beer is new for 2017, you can look up the beer on BeerAdvocate or Untappd. These two resources will list when the beer was added to their database. From there, you can scan through the ratings to see when it went from being a small tasting room pilot to a full on distributed beer.
We do understand there were many exceptional beers that were canned or bottled and sold out of their respective brewery, these can be included as well if you feel that was the best beer made in 2017.
So please have fun with this and share it with your beer loving friends.

Green Cheek has done some out of the box thinking straight out of the gate, thx to Evan Price. Wherever You Land, their hazy IPA, is solid and the Mikkellers collab Lemon Drip is incredible, but I gotta vote for their latest, Cocohut. Such a unique and fun idea. Can’t miss with these guys!
