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.

 

The publicly available beer ratings and venue ratings that fed into the Brewery Stars Meta-Rating were last updated on June 5, 2025. Any venues marked "Temporarily Closed" may have re-opened since we last checked on them. Refer to the brewery for latest updates. Venues with a Brewery Stars Meta-Rating of -9.0000 have not yet received enough public ratings for us to accurately assess them and are listed alphabetically at the bottom of the rankings.
