One of the largest craft beer festivals in the country, BeerAdvocate’s American Craft Beer Fest, kicks off this weekend and if you’ve never been before, let’s just say it can be overwhelming. Almost 700 different beers from 140+ different breweries will be tapped over the course of about 30 hours.

The ACBF might catch a lot of flak from beer nerds when brewers bring the usual suspects to sample, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s still a slew of worthy highlights each year.

There are always going to be lines, but after scouring the complete beer list, we think our top picks, five from New England and five from elsewhere, should help you prioritize which ones to stand in.
