Kenny Gould, the founder of Hop Culture magazine, spent all of 2019 searching America for the best breweries. Considering he has a career committed to beer, whatever he says, goes. He’s always on the pursuit of hoppiness!

Did you know there are over 7,500 breweries in the country? That’s A LOT of hops! Gould based his top 10 breweries on what best represented this year’s brewing landscape. This includes a focus on experimental IPAs, sours, and stouts. The rankings also take into account the company’s focus on education and support for their communities.

We’re proud of TrimTab Brewing Co. They’ve been drowning in awards for the past few years. We’re talking Thrillist, Forbes, Birmingham Magazine, and now Hop Culture. Even their team was pleasantly surprised by what TrimTab had to offer.

Two years ago, if you’d told us that we’d name an Alabama brewery as one of our Top 10 of 2019, we would’ve politely challenged you to a duel Kenny Gould, Founder of Hop Culture Magazine
