Readers Choice: Where's the Best Craft Beer in Marin?

Craft beer geeks like me are so lucky that we live in one of the epicenters of the microbrewing movement. People talk about the North Bay being Wine Country, but fine ale fans know it's just as much of a paradise for us, too.

Marin has several amazing craft beer spots, but we want to know which one is the best when it comes to the selection of pale ales, IPAs, reds, ambers, porters, stouts and Belgians.

In our latest edition of Readers' Choice, we've given you the keys, letting you primarily formulate the list of nominees and then select the winner. We solicited nominations from June 18 to July 9.

Voting began on July 23 and continues until Aug. 17. Some Readers' Choice categories span across all of Marin and others dig deep into individual towns and cities; this one is a countywide one. Visit our topics page for all the Readers' Choice information.

The nominations for best craft beer spot in Marin are:

• Broken Drum Brewery & Wood Grill in San Rafael
• Iron Springs Pub & Brewery in Fairfax
• Marin Brewing Company in Larkspur
• Mill Valley Beerworks
• Pizza Orgasmica in San Rafael
• The Sleeping Lady in Fairfax
