The beer-related results of USAToday’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards were posted yesterday, Friday, August 4 at noon!
USA Today’s 10Best has been known to provide “trusted travel and lifestyle advice” to locals looking to explore their backyard and travelers visiting a new city all across the United States.
USA Today used nominations from “industry and beer experts” to nominate 20 establishments for each category. Readers and fans were able to vote once per day for their favorite establishments from the nominations.
As a Michigan-based media group, we wanted Michigan to band together and vote for Michigan Craft Beer! The only nomination that didn’t make a 10Best list was City Built Brewing Company’s Bridge Blast in the Best Beer Festival category.
Here are the 10Best lists for each of the categories that Michigan earned a spot. Michigan winners will be in bold and italics.
