If you do, and are interested in writing, or drawing, about beer, we are interested in giving you a voice. We do not “ISO” on Instagram, nor do we trade in Facebook groups or other fora. We care not for lactose in sours or IPAs, and barely tolerate it in pastry stouts. Want to join in the fun? Tickets are still available, but don’t count on them being sold at the gates.Kudos to Greg, Tim, Bruno, and the NRG team for putting this together. Yeah, 83 of these beers have the word “hazy” in there somewhere, but there are also 50+ lagers. The list at Snallygaster really is an embarrassment of beer riches that we shouldn’t take for granted.It’s not that we don’t like you or your beers (generally, at least), this is the nature of the power rankings, which tend to depress the scores of locally available year-round and seasonal beers, many of which are excellent. Tilquin is good, dammit! Drink that, too. Also remember that while there will be long lines for Cantillon, there probably won’t be for Tilquin. If there’s something on here that doesn’t make it to Snallygaster, remember that it’s just beer, there are at least 400 other options, plus off-menu beers at the Beerscovery tent. We’ve tried to be sensitive to last-minute changes to the beer list, but exceptions and mistakes will occur. ![]() We’d love to hear from you.Ī few last things before we finally get to it: Want to chat about what you think we got wrong or under- or over-ranked? Let us know on Twitter at Let us know at Snally, we’ll be around. Obviously this is not scientific, so don’t come beating down our Twitter for putting your favorite IPA at 3.1 instead of 3.3. Beer one might end up ranked 2.1, while beer two could end up ranked 2.4. If a beer scores 2.333333, it’s also a 2, so that second round allows us to differentiate between beers. Why a second round? Because if the average score of a beer after one round is 1.5, we round it up to 2. We averaged those scores, then we did a second round of scoring, also 1 to 4, within that point system, so that every beer that got a 2, for example, was then ranked against its peers. How did we go about doing this? Each beer was ranked 1 to 4 according to each scorer’s personal preference and predilection for ordering. We make no claim to that effect (it would be extraordinary if we had). Note that not all of us have had all of these beers. Our power rankings are a rough approximation of our relative preference for the beers that will be available. Per usual, the standard is “what we’ve done here is think about what our predilections would be on the day-of which beers would we be most likely to drink, to wait in line for?” This takes into consideration a great number of things: the esteem in which we hold a brewery, our relative style preferences (slightly more on this below), our understanding of a given beer’s reputation, ABV, and availability (we’re not, by and large, going to Snallygaster to drink things we can typically get). Let’s start with our ironclad methodology. ![]()
