It\\u2019s been another year of great beers\\u2014and we\\u2019ve tasted thousands\\u2014but they can\\u2019t all be \\u201cthe Best.\\u201d What sets certain beers apart, to not only light up our palates and our senses, but also our brains and our conversations? Winnowed down by a year of our review panel\\u2019s blind judging, and then selected by more blind judging among our editors and top writers, our Best 20 Beers in 2023 represent the highest levels of excellence, character, and drinkability.

In this special once-per-year episode, Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine\\xae cofounder and editorial director Jamie Bogner convenes with managing editor Joe Stange to share results of the annual Readers\\u2019 Choice poll\\u2014including your Top 25 beers and favorite breweries\\u2014as well as their Best 20 Beers in 2023, discussing each beer in turn and what made them shine at the table and in the glass. And, as they do every year, these results represent a snapshot of the best of the craft today\\u2014whether we\\u2019re brewing them, drinking them, or some of both.
