The Top Fifty Beers In The World

These are the top fifty beers in the world according to, and as rated by RateBeer.

Here is the list ordered as; the Name of the beer, the Rated Score on a scale of five, the number of Votes received, and the Style of the beer.

I've had about half the beers on this list. In my opinion, they deserve praise.
Numbers 2 and 9 are my favorites.
