In previous years, our feature highlighting the Best of SD Beer (11 in ’11, 12 in ’12, etc) was figured out internally. We decided this year to open it up for our readers to decide instead. This poll has fourteen categories from different facets of local beer, and the winners from each category will comprise our 14 in ’14 feature to appear in our December / January issue.
We’re asking for your help. What was the best beer of 2014? Who was the best brewer? What’s the best bottleshop? Vote for the best in those categories and more by clicking below.

if you have no opinion on categories like “best brewer” or “best bottle shop” just put in “no opinion.”
