The top 10 beers chosen by beer enthusiasts across the US
One of the most prestigious beer rankings in America has crowned a new champion in a major upset.
For 15 years, Zymurgy Magazine — the official magazine of the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) — has asked the group's tens of thousands of members to cast votes for the best beers in the country. The idea is that Zymurgy readers, as homebrewers, have more refined palates than most and can suss out the winners.
Pliny the Elder, a double IPA from Russian River Brewing Company, held down the top spot for eight straight years — until now. Read on to find out the best beers in America and which IPA dethroned the king.

10. Ballast Point Brewing Co.Sculpin IPA
The Sculpin is an IPA for people who think they don't like IPAs. The award-winning brew is a bright and not overly astringent beer (doesn't have as much of a puckering quality). Its use of hops creates hints of apricot, peach, mango, and lemon flavors, but still packs a bit of a sting at 7% alcohol.
8. Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Celebration (TIE)
Few things signal the holiday season like Celebration. First brewed in 1981, the ale was one of the earliest American-style IPAs. It's loved for its intense citrus and pine aromas and hop flavor on a pleasant malt base.
8. Deschutes Brewery Fresh Squeezed IPA (TIE)
This mouthwatering IPA gets its juicy flavor from a heavy helping of citra and mosaic hops. Touches of grapefruit, orange, tangerine, lemon, and lime settle onto both the nose and the palate — making it a beer worth drinking for breakfast.
