RateBeer’s Top 5 Breweries in the World

Every year, RateBeer compiles its list of best breweries in the world, and while the site does a great job of mixing in foreign offerings, this year’s has a distinctly American feel to it. Last year’s champ has been knocked down a peg while a west coast staple jumped to the number one spot after lurking outside the top five last year. Here’s how it all shakes out:

5. Bell’s Brewery

4. Russian River Brewing Co.

3. Three Floyds Brewing

2. Hill Farmstead

1. AleSmith Brewing Company
