Ktoré pivovary sú najlepšie na svete? Hodnotenie pív je do výraznej miery subjektívna záležitosť. Aj keď urobíte nejaký zoznam, vždy ho môže niekto spochybniť. Rebríčky sú však vždy zaujímavé a podnetné.
Medzinárodná stránka RateBeer robí každoročne zoznam 100 najlepších pivovarov na svete. Tie vyhlási na pivnej slávnosti pod názvom RateBeer Best Awards.
Zoznam vzniká vyhodnocovaním piatich kritérií, ktoré zohľadňujú aktuálnu i historickú produkciu pivovarov. My vám prinášame zoznam stovky najlepších pivovarov za rok 2018. Aj keď väčšinu na Slovensku nezoženiete, časť áno.
