Jekyll Brewing Nominated For USA Today's 10Best

ALPHARETTA, GA — Craft breweries are popping up around the United States, and Georgia, bringing locally-made brews to restaurants and grocery stores.

In keeping with that spirit, USA Today has tasked a team of beer connoisseurs and taste experts to nominate brewpubs across the nation that are worthy of being highly regarded on 10Best.com.

"What's better than a craft brewery? A craft brewery with an on-premises bar where you can sit back, relax and enjoy a cold one," USA Today wrote. "These 20 brewpubs, nominated as the best in the U.S. by a panel of beer experts, serve their own house beers, often alongside guest taps and a menu of tasty food options."

Among the several Georgia brewpubs on the list, Jekyll Brewing in Alpharetta made the leaderboard.

Now it's your turn. 10Best is an ongoing reader's choice award. That means it's up to you to decide if your hometown or neighborhood brewpub should be one of the Top 10.

Here are the nominees in the metro Atlanta area:

• JEKYLL BREWING, Alpharetta
• FROM THE EARTH BREWING COMPANY, Roswell
• HOPSTIX, Chamblee
• BOLD MONK BREWING CO., Atlanta
• TORCHED HOP, Atlanta

Voting closes at noon on Tuesday, March 16. The final list will be announced on Friday, March 26.
