The Best Beers I Reviewed in 2021

I was intending to publish this overview of the best beers I reviewed in 2021 at the beginning of the month, but then my appendix decided to rupture and put me in the hospital for a few days, followed by a slow but steady recovery. Now I am mostly back to health and ready to […]

The Best Beers I Reviewed in 2020: Ranked!

With all of the crap that happened in 2020 I struggled to write diverse content on Hoppy Boston, my goal to write more features and fewer beer reviews failed miserably. Fortunately I still drank a ton of new-to-me beers, and many of the best and most interesting beers I reviewed on the blog. I thought […]

Hoppy Boston Best Beers: Spring 2020

With all of the shit happening in the country/world right now my Hoppy Boston focus has been mostly on beer reviews this spring. The advantage to that is that I’ve tried enough awesome beers to put together a “Best Beers” article for the last three months, something that is becoming infrequent recently on Hoppy Boston […]

Random Beer Thoughts: November 2019

This month was exceptionally crazy for me, mostly real-job work stuff along with the normal insanity that is life with two young children, so I did a relatively poor job compiling articles for my monthly beer thoughts and links column, plus I am posting it late after the holiday week. Regardless, here are a few […]

Hoppy Boston Best Beers: Fall 2019

I just realized that I haven’t done a Best Beers reviewed on Hoppy Boston recap acticle since the end of spring. I skipped the summer version because I only had one qualifying beer, lots of good beers but few that were great. This fall I reviewed 4 new beers that qualify for addition to the […]

Hoppy Boston’s Best Beers: Winter 2018/19

As I was looking back on my beer reviews/best beer articles in 2018 I noticed that they were dominated by hoppy beers, 8 of the 10 new additions to the My Favorite Beers list were IPAs or DIPAs. I went into the new year determined to find more balance, I wanted to identify more great […]

Hoppy Boston’s Best Beers- Summer 2018

Every month I tell myself that I need to cut back a bit on the hoppy beers and focus my reviews on a more diverse selection of styles. There are always a few things that work against me. The major one is that I love hoppy beers (and so does my wife), so I tend […]

Hoppy Boston Best Beers- Spring 2018

Every three months I write a summary of the best beers I tasted and reviewed over the past quarter. I’ve noticed that many of these articles are getting shorter, with just a few beers that make the top grade in each article. There are a number of factors that have contributed to this change, I […]

Hoppy Boston Best Beers- Winter 2017/2018

Every three months I do a summary of the best beers I reviewed over the last quarter. The last few “best beer” articles have been very IPA-heavy so I was determined to focus my winter reviews on some more diverse and malt-forward styles. Mission accomplished, my favorite beers of winter are all bold and boozy, and […]

Hoppy Boston Best Beers- Fall 2017

As I entered the fall I was a little burned out on hoppy beers and excited to mix in a bunch of malt-forward options. I was somewhat successful in the beers I drank, but local breweries decided to release a string of amazing IPAs this fall, and they ended up dominating my reviews. As a […]
