The best new beers in the world, according to Beer Advocate
The craft of brewing the perfect beer is booming— it seems like beer drinkers can't get enough.
Breweries in the United States grew 390% between 2010 and 2020, according to the Brewers Association, and it's not the usual household names soaring, either. While two of the largest beer companies in the world, Anheuser-Busch InBev and Molson Coors, together comprised roughly 77% of total beer sales in the United States in 2011, that share dropped to 58% in 2021, as interest in smaller craft brewers continued to rise.
With so much creative innovation in the craft brewery space, consumers are willing to pay more for a carefully crafted beer to perfection, even if that means beer prices increased by 33% in the last decade. But how do you know which brews are the best of the best?
Stacker compiled a list of the best-rated new beers in the world, using ratings from Beer Advocate. The list was created choosing those new beers with the best score according to Beer Advocate, choosing only beers with more than 11 ratings (the average ratings for new beers). In the case of a tie, the ranking against all beers is the tiebreaker. To be able to show some diversity in the origins of the beers, Stacker selected a maximum of five beers per brewery for the ranking.
