RateBeer, a site that compiles reviews of beers, bars, brewpubs, and festivals, has released a list of the
"Best Brewers in the World" for 2012, and two local breweries have found a place among the best.
Town Hall Brewery (at #42 on the list) and
Surly Brewing Company (#11) are recognized alongside some of the world's most notable breweries from the U.S., Belgium, Norway, Italy, and other countries.
The list includes 100 breweries, and recognizes Three Floyds Brewing Company in Indiana as the best in the world, followed by two Michigan breweries.
