Round 105 - 2021 Beer in Review

<p>Well, 2021 was better than 2020, but let’s be honest… They both kind of sucked. As we (happily) bid farewell to 2021, Stephen &amp; Gabe reflect on another year of weekly beer podcasting! This year, we’ve sampled 137 beers from 66 Breweries across 20 states (plus DC.) Not to mention 2 brewery tours and 4 taproom specials over the course of the year! As is tradition, we’ll revisit two standout breweries from the HOP archive to see what else they have to offer, including a trip to Springfield, MA for a stop at White Lion Brewing’s brand new taproom! We’ll also take a trip to the past to revisit our favorite toasts and rank our top 5 beers of 2021. Happy New Year and here’s to 2022!</p> <p>Featured beers: White Lion’s Blueberry &amp; Marshmallow Hopsicle Sour, Twisted Tale Golden Cream Ale, Cinna-Mane Red Ale, Casual Acquaintance IIIPA and Guinness Open Gate’s Chocolate Mint Imperial Stout. Plus: What we have to be thankful for in 2021!</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thehop/message
