The Best Beers of the Year (So Far): Quarter 1, 2024
With the spring beer festival season already over, it’s time to reflect on the crazy first three months of 2024. So far this year, we’ve had:
- Breweries making beer
- Some other stuff
So let’s celebrate that first bullet point by taking a look at the best beers made so far this year. As a reminder, we use Untappd data to list the highest rated beers based on your check ins. The hope is that, since all of these beers were released within the last 3 months, it’s not too late to go out and show your recognition for the well regarded brews listed below. Time for some tables:
