The reviewers at Beer Advocate just released their Top 100 Beers on Planet Earth list, and though the Belgians are well represented, a bunch of domestic names scored pretty high, including Russian River Brewing Company who have five beers in the top 50 and whose Pliny the Elder scored the number-two spot. Also ranking high among American microbreweries are Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon; Three Floyds Brewing Company in Munster, Indiana; and New Hampshire’s Portsmouth Brewery, whose Kate the Great stout earned an A+ and placed 16th.
