At Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine<\/em>\u00ae<\/sup>, we obviously spend a lot of time thinking about beer\u2014talking to brewers and others in the industry, digging into the details of process, and writing about what we learn. Best of all, though, we get to drink<\/em> beer\u2014and, like it or not, the taste of every drop flashes through these weird brains that have spent an unhealthy amount of time focused on the liquid and everything that goes into making it.<\/p>\n In short, we have thoughts. In this episode, contributing editor Kate Bernot, prolific author and longtime contributor Stan Hieronymus, and executive editor Joe Stange take off their reporter hats to talk through their favorite things they tasted all year, from around the world\u2014going deeper into their Critics\u2019 Lists from the annual Best in Beer issue\u2014inevitably sharing thoughts on where craft beer both could and should<\/em> be heading.<\/p>\n
