Craft Beer Trends to Watch in 2024:

  1. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Brewing: As consumers become more environmentally conscious, breweries are adopting sustainable practices, from sourcing local ingredients to implementing energy-efficient brewing processes.
  2. Non-Alcoholic Craft Beers Gain Popularity: With health and wellness trends on the rise, non-alcoholic (NA) craft beers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, offering delicious alternatives without the buzz.
  3. Innovative Ingredients and Fusion Styles: Brewers are getting creative with unexpected ingredients (think fruits, spices, and even seaweed) and blending traditional beer styles to create entirely new taste experiences.

Top Craft Breweries to Visit in 2024:

  1. New Heights Brewing Company, Nashville, TN: Known for their bold IPAs and innovative seasonal releases, New Heights is a must-visit for those seeking cutting-edge craft beers.
  2. Eco Brew Co, Portland, OR: Leading the charge in sustainable brewing, Eco Brew Co offers an impressive lineup of eco-friendly beers that are as good for the planet as they are for your palate.
  3. Fusion Craft Ales, San Diego, CA: If you’re intrigued by the idea of beer that breaks the mold, Fusion Craft Ales specializes in blending styles and incorporating exotic ingredients for a truly unique tasting experience.

Must-Try Beers of 2024:

  1. Galaxy Hopper IPA, New Heights Brewing Company: A hop-forward IPA with vibrant notes of citrus and tropical fruit, showcasing the best of Galaxy hops.
  2. Green Future Lager, Eco Brew Co: A crisp, clean lager that’s not only refreshing but also brewed entirely with renewable energy and sustainable practices.
  3. Mango Chili Wit, Fusion Craft Ales: This adventurous witbier combines the sweetness of mango with a hint of chili heat, creating a perfect balance of flavors that’s both refreshing and exciting.

Craft Beer Pairing Tips:

To enhance your craft beer experience, consider pairing your beers with complementary foods. For example, the bold flavors of an IPA pair beautifully with spicy dishes, while the subtle nuances of a Belgian witbier are a perfect match for seafood. Experimenting with pairings can unlock new flavor profiles and elevate your craft beer journey.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.
