The results for USAToday’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards have been posted as of noon on Friday, March 26, 2021!
Michigan placed well in almost all of the categories that they received nominations.
As we noted in our initial post, 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.
USAToday 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. Polls closed on Tuesday, March 16 at noon ET.
As a Michigan-based media group, we wanted Michigan to band together and vote for Michigan Craft! Here are the 10Best lists for each of the categories that Michigan earned a spot. Michigan winners will be in bold and italics.
