RewardExpert Ranks the Best U.S. Craft Beer Destinations

The top three destinations for craft beer in the U.S. are:

• Two Harbors, Minnesota/Arrowhead Region – First place goes to the area centered upon Two Harbors, Minnesota, in the state’s so-called Arrowhead Region. It encompasses all of Lake and Cook Counties, which lie along the shore of Lake Superior, northeast of Duluth. The area brewery median rating of 3.63 out of 5, and a mean rating of 3.73 reflect a high standard of overall quality, as expressed by reviewers’ ratings.
• City and County of Boulder, Colorado – Boulder County is home to 32 breweries and brewpubs, which produce many highly rated beers. It is, moreover, home to at least one brewery in the top 9% of all breweries RewardExpert rated. Consider visiting, or at least sampling the wares and provender of the Southern Sun Pub and Brewery.
• Jackson, Wyoming – Unsurprisingly, for an affluent enclave in the Rockies, the Jackson area is home to only 21,989 people and six breweries. This amounts to a sky high 27.29 breweries per 100,000 people. While the top-rated brewery in the area received a relatively modest average rating of 3.63 on a scale of one to five, breweries located in the Jackson region produce beers that receive consistently high, if not the highest, ratings from consumers.

According to RewardExpert’s analysis, the top three breweries in the U.S. are:

1. Round Guys Brewing in Lansdale, Pennsylvania
2. Elizabeth Street Brewery in San Francisco, California
3. Von Scheidt Brewing in Twin Falls, Idaho

“Much like how people have been traveling for decades to experience great wines from the source, beer travel is becoming increasingly popular,” says Tyschuk. “As our analysis found, the craft beer scene in America has so much to offer beer enthusiasts, no matter which corner of the country they are visiting.”
