No matter where you live, chances are you’re not far from an exciting bar with a diverse selection of interesting beer.
If you’re looking for recommendations, CraftBeer.com recently released its 2020 Great American Beer Bars list. As nominated by the website’s readers, the annual list highlights the best beer bars in every state, as well as Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.
Obviously any such list is highly subjective, but with so many great options out there — 40 percent of the bars on the list are different then last year — it’s a good place to start. As Jess Baker, CraftBeer.com’s editor-in-chief said in a press release, “You know a great beer bar when you’re in one.”
