• The beer and food section is probably the best of any beer magazine I've seen, with great recipe's [sic], great photography, and really utilizes either beer (something more than Guinness or pilsner that many other beer magazines use) in the recipe or as pairings with the food. – Barley Vine
• The Beer Connoisseur Magazine shakes up old-school marketing and shakes out beer misconceptions while exhorting, "Bottoms up!" – Noreen Burns, Patch
