As it has been for the entire history of the event, RateBeer Best was again the largest beer competition in the world -- over 1 million reviews of 59,000 beers from over 7300 brewers worldwide were tallied. A particular emphasis was placed on tastings from the last nine months. Additionally, brewpubs, bottle shops, restaurants and bars around the world were awarded prizes. Cheers to all the winners and to everyone who keeps the magical world of craft beer growing!
Strongly supported by solid tasting experience: Even though the competition judging is fairly open to all consumers, the vast majority of ratings, 88%, were submitted by persons with over 100 tastings reported.
Limited American bias: Of the top 20 master raters, each with over 3400 ratings, only 25% are American.
RateBeer Best is a beer competition unique in its independence -- it is not supported by big brewers and distributors
Unlike other beer contests, the emphasis was placed on tasting commercial samples -- not special batches prepared for festivals.
