For our first-annual Best in Beer issue, we asked thousands of you about your favorite beer writers and glassware, trends you think will last, how you drink, and how much you drink. Read on for your top picks.
Your Favorite Beer Writer
John Palmer
It’s no surprise to us that the author of How to Brew and Water—A Comprehensive Guide for Brewers remains your favorite beer writer—in our pre-survey office pool, he was the odds-on favorite to win the category. Palmer’s problem-solving mindset from his experience in metallurgical engineering gives him a technical background that’s really hard to beat.
Randy Mosher
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Mosher’s creative career as a graphic designer informs all of his writing, and his books are clear favorites of both yours and ours—immaculately organized, gorgeously presented, and thoroughly researched. His most recent book on brewing―Mastering Homebrew: The Complete Guide to Brewing Delicious Beer―deserves a spot on every brewer’s bookshelf.
