BTY Readers Choice – “WV Beer of the Year”

December 29, 2011 by Rich Ireland

I thought this year I would try something a bit different. Usually, the BTY team gets together and we decide on a WV Beer of the Year. For 2011, I thought it would be fun and interesting to get reader’s comments/votes.

Criteria: Remember, this is “WV Beer of the Year”… That doesn’t mean it has to be brewed in WV but it must be available in WV. Seasonal Entries are fine (we will feature the best seasonal as well). The seasonal can also be “WV Beer of the Year”.

Readers should submit their three top beers. You can choose to put them in order of 1st to 3rd but we will pick from the plurality of all of the entries. Please submit your favorite seasonal as well (it can be one of your three entries).

Let’s have some fun and see if we can enough entries before New Years Day!

    The best beer available in WV is Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald. It’s been that way for years now; that and SN Pale Ale got a lot of us through some rough (archaic) times.

    So, my vote would go to GL’s Ed Fitz, BBW’s Kolsch, and SA’s Noble Pils.
