Beer in 2016 was bigger, better than ever
By Blair Anthony Robertson, Sacramento Bee
As we take stock of the year in beer, now might be a good time for a bit of context: We’re living in the Golden Age.
There has never been a bigger, better or more creative, productive, socially engaging and delicious year than 2016. There are more beer bars and restaurants emphasizing beer, more breweries and tasting rooms, more brewery dogs wagging and sniffing and snoring, and more kids at breweries playing corn hole and Jenga and learning by osmosis about the wonders of things such as Galaxy hops, brettanomyces and barrel-aged sours as their parents taste and talk among friends.
The good breweries got better and bigger.
