Beer / Ratebeer's Top 100 Brewers [2019]

Nate Beatty: Do a tasting and sit at the picnic tables overlooking the hills. Don't be fooled into thinking heady topper is the best beer in VT; come here and have your mind (and taste buds) changed for the better

Cory Bennett: Every. Beer. They. Brew. Seriously, their beer is amazing and the people are even better.

John LeMaire: Beer, food, atmosphere, people! Everything about this place is great

Al S: Possibly the best hoppy beer on the planet. Go on Friday for best chance at a big can haul. Many of the best special releases also happen on Fridays. Get there at least 3 hours before open. Seriously.

Ross: Hunahpu's Double Barrel Aged Imperial Stout - rated as #1 Stout in the country. Brewed only once a year in March for Hunahpu Day. Read more.

Roland Tide: Excellent Brewery!! I've had many of their beers over the years. The worst one I ever had was good, most range from very good to great, and some are totally fantastic!! New brewery is 1 year old.

Cole T: Truly a sight to see. The bar area is massive, the beer is incredible and the food is solid! Outdoor patio is lined with tables and also heat lamps for the cold months. Experimental beers on tap here.

Chris Vodola: Planned a trip through Manchester just to bask in the glory of this place. A glorious brewery making some of the UK’s very best beers.

Alex Escamilla: Incredibly great beer. I'd recommend getting half pours if it's your first time. Don't miss west Ashley and Vanilla Joe if available.

Cameron Hobbs: Great food and awesome beer! Had the Sticky Monkey and the Unfiltered DBA to drink and the pretzel and calamari to snack on. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

Dani: Open only till 2pm there is a whole host of options. Seasonal, saisons, fruit beer, choice is endless and good value. Can get really busy so try to get there early. There's some seating but limited

Al S: Mecca for lovers of spontaneously-fermented beer. The new taproom is a perfect place to drink one of their vintage bottles. They often have rare stuff so always check the on-premise bottle list.

Arlyne D'Alessandro: Lots to select from pending the weather and mood! I thoroughly enjoyed their Belgian quad called Judgement Day, their Board Meeting, Carnivale, Shark Attack, and many others!

G. Sax: It's a lot bigger than you might have expected, which only means there are a lot more delicious options. If you're not already familiar with their selection, get a sampler. The staff will help.

Jesse Houwing: Large list of micro brew beers. Regularly changes with new specials. Good place for lunch too!

Noah Weiss: The best craft beer brewery in the world, with two dozen beers on tap. Get weird. Go for sours and coffee stouts and anything you wouldn't normally get. Sit outside with Vesterboro's cool kids.

Beerlady Tullys: Touted as the best brew pub in Montreal, (and there are many!) I agree wholeheartedly. No a huge space so go early like 5ish and plan to be there awhile, it takes time to taste their amazing beers

Robin Bertels: Voted one of the top 100 brewers in the world and the best Belgian brewer by Ratebeer. The Pannepot series beers and Black Albert are voted amongst the 100 best beers worldwide [2014]

Desmond Clark: One of my favorite craft brew houses in town. It's a pretty good bet you'll find us here before a Wednesday night shuffleboard league. Doug and his gang not only support the community, they're in it!

ClevelandNights: One of the best "big beer" spots in all of Northeast Ohio. A small, but tasty menu. Stay away from the con queso but go for the brisket nachos.

Eric Venker: A really original and fun brewery to spend a couple of hours tasting and hanging with friends. Not a huge list of beers but pretty solid stuff all the way around. Weird neighborhood, but you drove.

John Santamaria: 1 of best breweries in the east. Consistently great brews in a constantly changing beer repetoire. But beer isn't the only thing they do well, bread, candied bacon, & house made pickles are delish.

USA TODAY: The Bell's pub, The Eccentric Café, opened in 1993 and was the first brewery in Michigan to serve beer by the glass. The brewery also has home brewing supplies to help you on your own beer endeavor. Read more.

Todd Kuna: The Goose Island bar is great! Your classic Goose beers, but a ton more hard to find options including specialty Bourbon County Stouts

David Lamerton: Fantastic beer

Greg Schulz: The beer is outstanding. Lunch (the beer) lives up to the hype. They don't have their own kitchen, but you can bring in take-out. Sometimes they have a food cart, but you shouldn't depend on that.

Carl Chew: Awesome beer being brewed here. Mixture of Belgian and San Diego styles hits me perfectly. Always doing something new

Christopher Newell: Beer selection is excellent, great variety on offer and reasonably priced for craft beer. The lemon meringue sour with ice cream top made my day!

Rachel Powers: Wonderful and vast selection of lagers. The Sour Project was my favorite with it's awesome, full bodied flavor and tart finish. Fire in the Ham is the way to go if you're a fan of bacon.

Arlyne D'Alessandro: Far inland but worth the drive! Nelson & Duet IPA both delicious & different from one another. Their Willy Vanilly was great with smooth vanilla finish. Staff is super nice, & the food looked amazing

Ryan Tauer: Amazing beers available for on-site consumption. Also have their basic range for take-away, and will partner with local merchants to ship to the US.

Martin Tiedemann: 18 January: Tour Fuller's Brewey. At the Chiswick brewery, Fuller's have been brewing beer for over 150 years, though it is thought the site has been the home of brewing for two centuries longer.

Eve Tetreault: Nice place for beer and snack. Nice terrasse.

Kevin Mann: Fantastic tour! Try four brews on tap in the tasting room, including beer not available elsewhere. Get a glimpse of experimental beers, limited editions. Deepen your appreciation for Allagash brews.

Brewbroads Reviews: Their highly prized cans make this Belgian monastic inspired brewery notorious. Specifically, for the IPAS they swore they would never make when they initially opened. 😂

Derek: Grab a beer and hang out in the gardens before dinner. Also check what is on cask. It's constantly changing and the brewers create a cask of their own and serve it every Thursday afternoon at 4pm.

Robin Bertels: Definitely worth a little detour. Take a sampler and find out which of 18 beers you like best. Then have your growler filled with your favorite. Great bites too.

Global Highlander: One of the best breweries in the world. Enjoy the beer: regulars like Gumballhead or Robert the Bruce or more exclusive beers that you can't find elsewhere. Pork burger was great (if its still there).

Ali F.: No longer hidden, but still a gem. The taproom gets really busy on weekends now that it's been expanded and is more family friendly, so be prepared to wait for a seat but it's still worth it.

First We Feast: 20,000-square-feet of beer bliss, constant rotation of food trucks, numerous gaming options like life-size Jenga, and noon to midnight operating hours seven days a week. Read more.

Men's Health Mag: Wisely set on a gorgeous old 150-acre hop farm near the Baseball Hall of Fame, Ommegang specializes in Belgian-style ales & knows that beer is only part of the equation for a great brewery experience. Read more.

Dan Sohayda: Amazing space and building design but it was super crowded when we went on a Saturday afternoon compared to 3 other local breweries. Outside space helps in warmer months but be aware during winter.

Matt Godwin: One of our favourite places to go. Minutes from the city centre. Beautiful building, outside seats and family friendly. Local brewery making fantastic beers, hickey the rake and jakehead are a must.

James Robinson: Hidden away, this gem of a brewery makes for a wonderful location for sampling the many awesome beers. Guest caterers each week also fab

Ross: Each Sierra Nevada keg is marked with a green and orange stripe. These stripes match Ken Grossman's favorite hiking socks.

Robin Bertels: Westvleteren 12 is widely considered the best beer in the world!

Nick Fullmer: Best brewery in SF. Amazing line-up of beers along with a great food truck schedule. Not only do they offer growler fills in 750ml, 32oz 64oz sizes, they also fill amber hued ones from other places.

Robin Bertels: Come and buy a Taras Boulba, Zinnebir, Jambe de Bois, Stouterik or Brusseleir or try one of the seasonals or Wadesda experiments. If you're in front of the building, go right to find the entrance.

Daryl: Come for the beer. Stay for the beer.

Danielle: Free tours with beer tasting at the end. Company itself is sustainable and considerate. Beer is delicious, local and varied. A must-see place for all KC residents and a great tourist spot for visitors

Migs .: One of the North's major players in craft beer. God's own. Great beer. Fantastic food, take-overs by local restaurants and food projects. A gem.

Mike Wimsatt: Delicious light drinkable farmhouse and pale ales.

Rachel K: A California brewery which doesn't hop everything up! Focus on sour beers and unique beer combinations. Try the Or Xata, an ale take on horchata, and one of the smoking porters.

Andy Guinigundo: Crafted beers that take a long time to mature - some age for a year. A cozy, beautiful space.

Robin Bertels: Cantillon has 7 beers listed in Ratebeer's Best of Sour Beers Top 15, Lou Pepe Pure Kriek was voted one of the World's Best Beers and Cuvée Florian one of the World's Top New Beer Releases [2014]

Graeme Harvey: A great selection of Garage Project beers on tap for tasting or to fill a Growler/flag on to take home or to a party. They also have a handy selection of their beers available in cans or bottles.

Anders Solstrand: Great people and great beer!

Home Sweet Beer: Another amazing craft-brewery from Portland! With 2 beers reigning under 15-best Ratebeer rating, Adam and Fred, use their sampler to try them all.

Shane Martin: Delicious fruited sour beers. Pictureesque setting

Johan Engelmark: The amazing brewers at Omnipollo opens a bar, it can't get much better. Great selection of pizzas and beer on tap from Omnipollo and friends. A must to visit when in Stockholm.

Lucille Fisher: Excellent beers, very good food, friendly people who know their beer. Outdoor seating in the summer. A must go in Minneapolis. Can’t wait to go back!

Kristina Toft: Great beer

Matthias: What a lovely place to enjoy a beer or two. Such a colorful an inviting ambience and friendly service. I went for the stout flight and let me tell you, I might have just found a new favorite! 🤤👌🏼🍻

Denver Westword: Crooked Stave may be one of the smallest breweries in Colorado, but it has made a footprint for beer lovers everywhere. This taproom brews some of the finest beers attracting all kinds of beer-lovers.

Zach Ziegler: Brand new facility with a much different feel than the old grove and homebrewmart facilities but still great nonetheless serving BP beer and spirits with a restaurant instead of food trucks!

Anthony Marquez: Not just the best tasting Double IPA (dbl actuator) I've had in a while but a whole range of tasty beers with a casual,open, and very friendly tasting room! Will definitely be back!

John Wilkins: Excellent craft beer direct from source. Nice bar in a sun trap, with helpful staff and growler refills.

Kalin Poirier: Every beer we tried was absolutely divine. Great place, great beer. Food was a little too new-agey for me, but it tasted good

Ben Gutnik: One of the best breweries Seattle has to offer. Very cool building and setup with an outside porch. Highly suggest trying their Nitro! It's one of the best.

Krista Vogel: Very knowledgeable staff and a huge selection of in-house brews. Try the Fortuna; it sounds weird (beer brewed in tequila barrels w/ lime), but it's a once-in-a-lifetime beer. Tastes like a margarita!

Greg Avola: Awesome selection of craft beers - try the brewery exclusive ones! No food here - just solid selection of brews plus free wifi!

Bernie Baker: Asheville, NC's most popular brew pub. The menu includes all manner of offerings; IPAs, Stouts, Pils, Weizens, Unfiltered & Sours too. Some of these have a serious kick.  My favorite? #PerniuciousIPA

Raena S.: Sours and heavies...Angry Chair has the ends of the spectrum.

Dorothy D: Well hidden gem with a stunning array of beer. Try the sampler tray of 5 for starters. There's usually a food truck nearby for tasty vittles. Don't drink and drive!

Robin Bertels: "Het humeur van de meeste bezoekers stijgt na het bezoek aan de brouwerij, inclusief Oerbar 2"

Tony Tandeski: A must for any beer lovers out there. Is there anything more Wisconsin? Grab a brew from the tasting room and take a tour of the amazing facilities. My fave: Cabin Fever or of course Spotted Cow

SF Weekly: SF Weekly’s Best Of 2012 Winner – Editorial Pick – Best Beer and Food Ambassador. The result is food-friendly beers that appeal to both the beer geek and foodie contingent. Almanac's Jesse Friedman... Read more.

Dick Traveling: Like it sour? This is Nirvana.

Andrew Becker: Big, juicy IPAs, rivalling those coming out of New England. Belongs up there with Alchemist, Trillium, Lawson's...as some of the best that the East Coast has to offer.

Robin Bertels: Rochefort 8 and Rochefort 10 are voted one of RateBeer's Top 100 Beers in the World [2014].

Avery Jenkins: Some of the Best Beers in NorCal!!! Make sure to try their Maximus IPA and Hop Stoopid if you love IPA's! Get the Undercover Shutdown Ale or Brown Shugga' when available, if like it Strong! Cheers!!

Timothy Raymond: Great beers and many to-go. Good pub food snacks like the cheese plate and everything pretzel.

Josh A: Great beer spot. Lots of seating much of it shaded. JK makes amazing beers tho frankly not my style. They also have a solid library of other brewer beers in bottles. Definite must for beer geeks.

Anna Jensen: The brewery is the smaller (original) of the two venues. You're more likely here to have a conversation with your friendly bartender and catch an acoustic set than on the larger (O'Hooley's) side.

Diamond Dave: La Cumbre doesn't skimp on ingredients, which makes for killer IPA'S

Cusp25: Great beer in a modern white space with booths and bar seating

AZ Beer Calendar: Official hours M-Th 11am-11pm, F-Sat 11am-1am, Sun 11am-10pm. Happy Hour 4pm-7pm M-F. All day Sunday. Food Menu in the pic. Cheers!

Delaware Tourism Office: Take a brewery tour and discover the unique flavor of the Dogfish brews! Don't forget to check out the Steampunk Treehouse!

Allison Coleman: The brewery tour is well worth a fiver! Great value, friendly staff.

Behrad Eats: Great craft brewery in Stavanger, putting out some solid beer, if you're lucky you'll get to check out their facility like we did.
