Hark what is that bugle call....? It's the last post, or at least the last review post for 2019. Having looked at the beers themselves, the places I drink them in, so finally we come to the companies that actually make the booze itself. To be listed as one of the regional breweries of the year, said brewery needs to have at least a couple of beers I have had this year, also no honorable mentions. Onward then.
Virginia
- Port City Brewing - Alexandria
- South Street Brewery - Charlottesville
- Alewerks - Williamsburg
Rest of USA
- Sierra Nevada Brewing - CA/NC
- Von Trapp Brewing - VT
- Olde Mecklenburg Brewing - NC
Rest of the World
- Cromarty Brewing - Scotland
- Pivovar Hostomice - CZ
- Schlenkerla - DE
Reviewing that list of breweries, I realise that if I were given that list and told I could only ever drink beer from those 9 breweries then I would never be left wanting for quality beer, so whittling it down to just three is nigh on impossible, but needs must.
- South Street Brewery - Charlottesville
- Von Trapp Brewing - VT
- Pivovar Hostomice - CZ
There really is a clear winner when it comes to my brewery of the year, but first let me point out that each of these breweries makes wonderful pale lagers that I would happily guzzle every day, they also each make dark lagers that I would happily guzzle every day. The winner though is the brewery who do every beer they produce superbly well and who I can drink pretty much whenever I feel like it, so well done to Von Trapp Brewing from Vermont for being the 2019 Fuggled Champion Brewery, and for making all those glorious lagers.
