Vast majority of those vying for top new brewer this year are non-US

Y. Market Brewing in Nagoya, which opened in March, is the best new Japanese brewer in the last 10 years. Really solid from day one in a range of styles, and now another very accomplished brewer just picked up his bags and left Ise Kadoya and moved over to join them. They hit their maximum capacity within 2 months after opening, so we expect supply issues. Exciting stuff.
