Updated on January 31, 2022

Over the last few years, Instagram has become an indispensable marketing tool for the craft beer industry. For breweries, posting gorgeous beer shots and announcing releases have become crucial to their marketing strategy. And while growing a craft beer following on Instagram seems simple enough, tapping into what makes people double-tap is actually quite a feat. (Luckily, we tapped Two Roads Social Media & Content Creator for some best beer Instagram tips). For individuals, creating their own dedicated beer Instagram accounts has actually created its own subculture.

Craft beer Instagrammers include talented folks who have an eye for visual storytelling and use the social platform to craft a unique identity. Whether that’s through a beautiful pour shot, some creative photoshop magic, or just a unique point-of-view behind the camera.

We put together this list to celebrate the creators and crafters who have built exciting beer accounts on Instagram. Beyond that, we found some of the folx who have used their platform to create change in the industry.

With over 9,000 breweries around the country, it’s helpful to have resources that curate the best of the best. Which breweries are clever? Which are inspiring? Which makes the best product? Similarly, with an ever-increasing amount of craft beer “influencers” and Instagram accounts, it’s helpful to know which ones are worth following. And who are raising their voices to represent the underrepresented in their communities.

We know our isn’t of the 55 Best Beer Instagram Accounts to Follow in 2022 an exhaustive list, just folx that we’ve seen who we encourage you to follow. If you have others in mind please drop us a line a [email protected].

The 55 Best Beer Instagram Accounts

Below, we’ve rounded up our 55 favorite beer Instagram accounts. Even with 55 options, it was an incredibly difficult task to narrow down. We tried to include a mix of individuals shooting great photography, some beer humor accounts, merch, and a couple follow-worthy organizations.

Of course, we’d highly recommend checking out our own Instagram account (@hopculturemag) as well as our friends at @untappd, @beeradvocate, and @oznr.

For the most part we didn’t include any breweries, but feel free to check out our favorite brewery Instagram accounts of 2020.

Without further ado, here are our 55 favorite beer Instagram accounts, presented in alphabetical order.

@babels_cameron

@beautyofthebeer

instagram account beauty of the beer

Most craft beer fans know that the community can get a little wild and a tad overzealous. Photography from most beer festivals is loud–even if it’s joyful. But, Melissa, the woman behind @beautyofthebeer, manages to capture craft beer’s quieter side through her photography. Sure, there’s still excitement around the beer, but Melissa’s shots feel thoughtful and reflective.

The notion of beer as art takes on a new form with the @beercanvas Instagram account, which creates and sells its own glassware. Drawing on copious pop culture references, the account has played with collateral from Doug, the Mandalorian, and even Rick and Morty. Come for the beer shots but stay for the baby Yoda glasses.

@beerthuglife

Edgar Preciado’s aka @Beerthuglife story is uniquely his own.

As a Mexican-American, Edgar wanted to create the representation that he wasn’t seeing in the craft beer space. So a couple of years ago, he posted a video to Instagram in which he chugged an entire can of Monkish’s Enter the Fog Dog in just a few seconds. Within twenty-four hours, the post had over 1,000 views. The video flipped craft beer’s perceived pretension on its head, breaking the stereotype of craft beer drinkers as snooty, white, bearded, hipsters. Since that original video, Preciado has continued pushing the norms of the industry — all without betraying his love of beer and the community. Most recently, Preciado began brewing collaboration beers under the BeerThugLife brand. Such as Heavy Heavy Heavy, a collab with BeerAdvocate and Brewjeria Company and Death Row West Coast IPA, celebrates the official thirtieth anniversary of Death Row Records.

There are few accounts on Instagram that will offer a bigger message than @isbeeracarb. Not only is Grey Stone (they/them/their) a creative photographer and model, but they’re also a talented brewer and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the craft beer industry.

Most importantly, Grey has used their platform to raise awareness for DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) issues in the craft beer community. From speaking on panels to educating folks through social posts, Grey continues to serve as an advocate for a more equitable, just, and diverse craft beer industry. For that reason this past year Hop Culture named them one of its “10 People to Watch in Craft Beer in 2022”.

One of our most important voices in craft beer in 2020, Lily Waite started The Queer Brewing Project (TQBP) to build community and foster advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights. Waite, a Queer, trans woman who worked around the beer industry including at organizations like Good Beer Hunting, We Are Beer, and Wild Beer Co. At its crux, TQBP seeks to eliminate intolerance and prejudice in the Queer community through the vehicle of beer. Beginning back in 2018, Waite brewed a collaboration beer with Marble Brewery called Dinosaurs Will Die as a part of an art exhibition during Manchester Beer Week. The beer and companion art examined how queer and trans identities intersect with an intolerant society. The response was so positive that Waite started looking for more ways to brew change. Waite would go on to craft over thirty collaborative beers in five different countries. Each time Waite set out with the goal to unveil the intersectionality of the queer and trans communities in craft. @queerbrewing has turned into a page, “providing visibility and representation for LGBTQ+ people, using beer as the vehicle for social change.”
