Which Beer Mag is the Best Beer Mag?

by Luke · 11 comments | Fun Beer Stuff,Homebrew Related

I spent some time in Borders this afternoon checking out 2008 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guides and happened across the beer section of the magazine department. To my amazement, there were six different beer-related magazines in stock (and that didn’t include either Beer Advocate Magazine or Celebrator). The magazines I saw before me included All About Beer, Draft Magazine, Beer (a publication of beer.com, I believe), Brew Your Own, Zymurgy — the official magazine of the American Homebrewers’ Association — and Beers of the World.

Although I don’t subscribe to any of them, I’ve at least glanced through all six at one point or another. But seeing all of them in one place at the same time today got me thinking – which is the best beer magazine out there? Well, I figured I’d put it to a vote; what do YOU think (leave a comment)?

Beer magazine has no affiliation with beer.com Beer magazine’s website is http://www.thebeermag.com

And it’s my favorite ;)

Luke (Response)

Ahh okay – I was misinformed. Thanks for the head’s up, MikeV!

Greg

It should include beeradvocate.com…no?

Sam

I like the beer mag too and I’m a fan of http://beercasters.com

Beer & Brewer

There is another beer mag that is on sale in Borders and Barnes & Noble across the USA, called Beer & Brewer magazine http://www.beerandbrewer.com Its all about the lifestyle and industry of beer and (home & commercial) brewing in Australia & NZ. I’m the Publisher, please excuse the self promotion of the mag, and would be keen to know what people think of the mag compared to the rest on the shelves in the USA. Cheers, David

Draft is the best in my opinion. It has good reviews, good beer and food pairing info, good food made with beer recipes, places to visit with good beer, etc.

I read Beer magazine too because it covers some different topics, but I find it a little tacky with the flaunting of women to make sales.

I am a fan of Draft and actually found it at a Borders as well.

Best Beer

Hmm well for Me it doesn’t matter what kind of magazine you read as long as it says and states good things about beers.
