The 10 best beers I drank this year, in honor of International Beer Day

I am a lucky man. I write about football and beer. I have the job of a lazily developed sitcom dad.

Today, on International Beer Day, I am taking the opportunity to reflect. A full year since my last IBD list has dropped 52 new Beverages of the Week into my portfolio. Some of these were hard liquors. Entirely too many were hard seltzers or canned cocktails. But this failed to keep me from my truest boozing love: beer.

The past 12 months have allowed me to expand my palate and my Untappd resume, bringing new breweries into the fold and allowing the chance to try fresh offerings from reliable standbys. Some of the beers I drank were for work. Others were because it was a college football Saturday or a pro wrestling pay-per-view Sunday. Almost all of them were good, and a select few were wonderful.

So here’s where I’m gonna look back at 365 days of drinking and pick my 10 favorites. In no particular order, these are the best beers I drank between 2022 and 2023.
