On Monday, we shared with you our best beer experiences of 2024. None of those experiences included our best beers of the year, which goes to show (again) how much placement and timing can affect how we interact with a beverage. These beers run the gamut from low-ABV table beer to massive barrel-aged stout, and from a resurgent brewery to a hopefully-returning-soon collaboration from two breweries you may not be familiar with (yet).

Non-distilling producers are extremely common in the current American whiskey landscape. Only a few years ago, it was relatively easy to use deductive reasoning to determine the origin of sourced whiskey. But with the bloom of contract distillation programs, copycat mashbills, and distillers producing whiskey with unique mashbills for brokers, it’s suddenly much more difficult or even impossible for most consumers to figure out where a bottle was distilled.

Ardnahoe Distillery was established in 2016 on a rugged hillside near Port Askaig in the comparatively remote and impossibly beautiful northeast corner of Islay.

One particular topic that dominated the wine conversation in the U.S. this past year was how to get people into tasting rooms.
