2012 Zymurgy Best Beers in America

Zymurgy readers have spoken once again, the lists have been compiled, and results can be found here.  For the second year in a row, Alpine took the top spot in the "Spirit of Homebrew" category, edging out Russian River, The Bruery, AleSmith, and Jolly Pumpkin for the honor.  Regardless of position, all of the breweries and beers on these lists are winners in my book.
