RateBeer names top breweries, beer

RateBeer, a leading national consumer beer rating website, has named its top breweries and beers based on its members’ reviews during 2018. In the state by state awards, West Virginia winners were:
.

• Best Beer – Devil Anse IPA, Greenbrier Valley Brewing
• Best Brewery – Bridge Brew Works, Fayetteville
• Best New Brewery – Weathered Ground Brewery, Cool Ridge

RateBeer also rates the best places to get beer in each state, but did not rate any West Virginia places due to such low numbers of reviews that would make any ratings produced unreliable.

Places close to West Virginia did receive awards as the best places to get beer in their respective states. Jackie O’s Brewpub and Public House, in Athens, was named the best brewpub in Ohio. For tops in Pennsylvania, two Pittsburgh businesses were honored: East End Brewing was named best brewery taproom and Fat Heads Saloon took best restaurant for beer in their state. For Virginia, Ocelot Brewing, in neighboring Loudoun County and led by WVU grad Adrien Widman, took best brewery taproom and Blue Mountain Brewery, in Nelson County near Charlottesville, was named best brewpub in the Old Dominion.
