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.

Ed Norton

Edwin "Ed" Norton was first introduced to craft beer when his designated fraternity Big Brother Vince asked him if he knew anything about the topic. Ed admitted his ignorance and the rest is history as Ed and Vince would split six-packs of craft beers each week during Ed's probationary status. Ed is now a craft beer enthusiast who is always on the lookout for a beer he has not tried when bottle shopping or drinking at breweries and bars. In addition to drinking beer, this livelong Michigan resident enjoys a bunch of hobbies that he doubts you really care about, other than drinking beer and sounding off about it.
