At the helm of Best Beer is our esteemed editor, Mary J. Hicks, a true connoisseur with a deep passion for all things beer. Mary's journey into the world of brewing began over two decades ago when she first set foot in Europe, the birthplace of many iconic beer styles. Her travels took her through the cobblestone streets of Belgium, the rustic pubs of England, and the historic breweries of Germany, where she immersed herself in the rich traditions and flavors that define European beer. Mary’s dedication to the craft led her to study under some of the most respected brewers in Europe. She spent years honing her palate, learning the intricacies of beer tasting, and mastering the art of brewing. With a deep understanding of traditional beer styles and a keen eye for innovation, Mary returned to the United States with a mission: to share her wealth of knowledge and passion with beer lovers across the country.
