The beer landscape has certainly evolved since we last discussed this question back in 2011  But since many of you are stuck in the house today with the kiddos, it seems a good time to restart a conversation on favorite beers.

Let’s start with a perennial favorite – ok, my favorite – the IPA.  The style become such a staple among craft breweries that nearly every new brewery starts with – or quickly introduces – an IPA after opening.  That means there are a LOT of them.

Which crates a bit of a paradox of choice.  What are your favs these days?

There are a lot of new breweries in Georgia, even in the past year. Both full-on bottlers and brewpubs. Does the old guard of Sweetwater or Terrapin still hold your allegiances or has a newbie won your affection?

If you need a list to help jog your memory, here’s BeerAdvocate’s latest brewery/brewpub list for Atlanta.
