The Best Stouts You're Not Drinking (That Aren't Guinness)
Let's get one thing straight: If you're a lover of thick, creamy stouts, Guinness is a delicious choice. But after downing the stuff year in and year out, the classic drink can get a little boring. In an effort to shake things up, we turned to three beer experts to learn the most satisfying stouts that aren't on our radar.
Who are they? First up is Joshua M. Bernstein, author of the definitive guide to suds, The Complete Beer Course. Bernstein has never steered us wrong, whether the topic be gluten-free brews or pairing beer with oysters.
Next, we have John Holl, the editor of All About Beer Magazine and the author of The American Craft Beer Cookbook. Holl knows his stuff, even on obscure subjects like Mexican craft beer.
Finally, we turn to Lauren Buzzeo, the tasting director at Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Don't be fooled by her publication's oenological bent—Buzzeo is the resident brewing expert. And we admire any lady who has "Resident Beer Champion" in her Twitter bio.
