Best Brewers In The World 2012

Here is RateBeer's top 100 brewers for the year.  San Diego's AleSmith, Stone, Alpine, Green Flash, and Ballast Point were all in the top 30, with Port/Lost Abbey coming in at number 69, beating out such heavy hitters as New Belgium and Boston Beer.  AleSmith and Stone, at numbers 4 and 7 respectively, were no surprise, but Alpine coming in at number 17 was great to see.  Congratulations to everyone on the list!
