Friday Field Guide 
Fresh picks, from the world's top brewers.


April 8th, 2016 Edition  |  Newsletter Archive
 
This week: We welcome a couple new faces among our top picks with Free Will and Toolbox joining the hallowed halls of RateBeer Weekly history. Then we got some 18th Street Brewery action happening in our limited release spot. Barrel Massacre 2016 goes down at the end of April.

The news...

The Brewers Association announces the 2015 top U.S. overall breweries & craft breweries by sales volume.

Another month, another lawsuit against A-B InBev for alleged misleading marketing practices.

Pabst hopes for a craft-like sales boost by reviving its archived brands & recipes.

Narragansett will return to its Rhode Island brewing roots for the first time since 1983.

Georgia is set to ease rules for brewery tour goers to be able to take home beer from the building.

Finally, The Wall Street Journal reports that Boston Beer / Samuel Adams sales are struggling to grow due to surging interest in smaller brewers. [Click through from Google for non-WSJ subscribers]
