American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
In spite of the fallout that followed its 100% accquistion by AB InBev in 2019… RateBeer remains a powerful and relevant online portal when it comes to crowd-sourced ratings and beer rankings…
Now in its 20th year, RateBeer just announced 2019’s best places for beer by state. User ratings in the last year were employed to determine the winners.
Historical performance was also considered and a minimum number of reviews were required.
In some cases, no winners were awarded because RateBeer’s criteria was not met.
