2013 was another great year for sampling craft beer, as I described in over 80 blog posts last year. But there were a lot of beers I sampled that were not mentioned on the blog, so I’ll continue my nod to overlooked 2013 brews…
2014 New Beers Resolution: Visit Devil’s Backbone Brewing Company in Roseland, Virginia. The 2013 Small Brewing Company of the Year is less than three hours from my home base in Kensington, Maryland. I sampled a few bottles of Devils Backbone last spring and can’t wait to taste their full line-up at the brewpub in 2014.
My overlooked beers from 2013 spanned every season…
Summer Session Ale, Evolution Craft Brewing Company
Pumpkin Ale, Long Trail Brewing Company
2013 Anchor Christmas Ale
