Tuesday Top Ten: Best Breweries of 2017

A few days ago, I came across an article on the World Wide Web entitled "The 10 Best Breweries of 2017."  I like beer, so I decided to check it out.  They all sound fantastic, and I take it as a good sign that I haven't heard of many of them despite the fact that I drink a lot of beer.  They all appear to be regional/local breweries.  Here's the list:

-Brew Gentlemen (Braddock, PA)

-Triple Crossing (Richmond, VA)

-Two Roads (Stratford, CT)

-WeldWorks (Greeley, CO)

-Jackie O's (Athens, OH)

-Perennial (St. Louis, MO)

-Societe (San Diego, CA)

-J. Wakefield (Miami, FL)

-Austin Beer Garden (Austin, TX)

-Tired Hands (Ardmore, PA)

I went to the almighty Untappd to see if any of the 2,276 unique beers I've checked in belong to any of these ten breweries.  The only one was Perennial, and I've had six of their beers.  Here they are (with my rating), in reverse chronological order of when I drank them:

-Sump Coffee Stout (4 stars)

-Meriwether saison (4.25 stars)

-Suburban Beverage gose (3.5 stars)

-Dual Artisanship saison (3.5 stars)

-Black Walnut Dunkel dunkelweizen (4 stars)

-Saison de Lis (4 stars)

So if Perennial is any indication of the quality of the rest of the list, then apparently I need to take a trip to Binny's to see if any of they have non-IPAs from any of these breweries.
