The 21 Best Beers You Can Buy Online

The top-rated beer in the world, according to Beer Advocate, is the Toppling Goliath Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout. Good luck finding it though. As Esquire noted, the barrel-aged coffee stout is only released about once a year, 300 to 400 bottles at a time, and straight from the brewery in Decorah, Iowa.

If a trip to Iowa that coincides with the release isn't in the cards for you, fear not. There are plenty of beers that are easily accessible, either through an online portal like Drizly or at your local grocery store or liquor store. To determine how to find the best of the brews, Town & Country consulted two beer experts:

Greg Engert is Beverage Director & Partner of Neighborhood Restaurant Group, which runs 22 independent restaurants and bars, including the craft beer bars ChurchKey in Washington, D.C. and The Grand Delancey. Engert, who chose "consistently excellent, steadfastly reliable, readily available, and downright affordable American craft brews," has been nominated by the James Beard Foundation for “Outstanding Wine & Spirits Professional” and Food & Wine named him its first-ever “Sommelier of the Year.”

Tom Peters is the proprietor of Philadelphia's legendary Monk's Café. Peters began in the Philadelphia restaurant industry in 1980 as a waiter, bartender, host, line cook, sous chef, head chef, pastry chef, and general manager before opening Monk’s Café in 1997. Noted beer writer Michael Jackson called Monk’s “Simply the best Belgian Café in the United States," and All About Beer magazine named it one of the top five places in the world to drink a beer. Peters founded Philly Beer Week, the world's very first Beer Week, and is a four-time James Beard Foundation semifinalist.

Suffice it to say, these two know how to find a tasty brew, whether you are looking for a light or craft beer, or maybe just a pale ale or an IPA. Here are their picks.
