While recently perusing Untappd’s top 50 beers, as rated by its users, we were struck by some curious facts: All but three beers on the list were over 10 percent ABV; all but five were barrel-aged; and all but five were stouts or barleywines.
Intrigued by this consistency, we wondered how our own top 50—as scored by Craft Beer & Brewing’s blind-judging panel—compared.
These charts illustrate the range of beers they’ve loved the most.
