Brewery Stars Ranking
What's the best local brewery? We take a data-driven approach to ranking breweries. When you’re visiting a brewery, you want both good beer and a good atmosphere. We take publicly available beer ratings and venue ratings and consolidate them into a Brewery Stars Meta-Rating. If guests consistently like a brewery’s beer and enjoy the experience of visiting the taproom, the brewery will do well in our rankings.
